Ascanelli set to leave Toro Rosso

Scuderia Toro Rosso's technical director Giorgio Ascanelli is set to part company with the team. Ascanelli, who joined Toro Rosso in 2007 and oversaw its maiden race victory with Sebastian Vettel at Monza a year later, is not at the German Grand Prix and is officially "on holiday". But sources indicate that he is unlikely to return to action with the team.
