James Allison is spending some time away from formula one as he mourns the recent death of his wife, it has emerged.<\/p>\n
On his wife Rebecca’s Facebook page, the 48-year-old Briton confirmed to friends and family last week that she died suddenly from meningitis.<\/p>\n
“We at Ferrari are united with him and his family during this period of profound sorrow,” said Ferrari, where Allison is the technical director.<\/p>\n
Speed Week, a German-language publication, claims that following Rebecca’s death, Allison returned home to Britain.\u00a0 Normally, he commutes between Britain, where his wife lived with their three children, and his work in Italy.<\/p>\n
“From Italy, we hear that to Ferrari’s credit, James Allison has been given total freedom to organise his life anew,” said correspondent Mathias Brunner.<\/p>\n
“Nobody knows when he will return to the race tracks again,” he added.<\/p>\n
But we reported in February that Allison actually did not plan to travel to all the grands prix in 2016, after Ferrari signed up Jock Clear to head track operations.<\/p>\n
