The management of the Ligier-Mugen-Honda team has changed now that Tom Walkinshaw has left the team owned by Flavio Briatore. Didier Perrin, Andre de Cortanze and Bruno Michel are now part of the Ligier Managent. They were already working for Ligier when Walkinshaw was running it.

Only two co-workers of Tom Walkinshaw have left the team with him to Arrows. The atmosphere at Ligier is still very calm according to Jose Carlos Brunoro, the director of the Paramalat company.
