Nine Team Principals are recorded across the Season 6 field before Austria, with HPJones at McLaren, Abaddon_51 at Mercedes and the returning Ferrari appointment all beginning at the new campaign's opening round.
The remaining six teams enter with an incumbent from an earlier season: Fredrumguit at Alpine, AsRadAsYourDad at Aston Martin, FTR Button at Haas, croissantdan at Kick Sauber, ForestalWaif1 at VCARB and Webbah87 at Williams.
Three opening-round appointments
HPJones takes the McLaren entry into Season 6 after a tenure beginning at Round 1. Mercedes lists Abaddon_51 from the same point, while Ferrari's record places zoolander83 at the start of the campaign.
That gives the opening weekend three fresh entries on the management ledger. It does not, on its own, tell us which car will be quickest at Austria—and paperwork remains stubbornly poor at setting lap times.
Six established tenures complete the grid
Fredrumguit's Alpine tenure is recorded from Season 3 Round 5, ForestalWaif1's VCARB spell from Season 2 Round 4 and Webbah87's Williams role from Season 4 Round 1. AsRadAsYourDad also dates from Season 4 Round 1 at Aston Martin.
FTR Button's Haas entry begins at Season 5 Round 1 and croissantdan's Kick Sauber tenure at Season 5 Round 3. Together with the three Season 6 starters, they form the complete recorded line-up before a 14-round schedule begins in Austria.
