Renault engineer 'shot himself'

The Renault F1 team are at the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend

A Renault Formula One engineer is believed to have shot himself at the team's headquarters in Oxfordshire.

Police are not treating the death of William Millar as suspicious, after he was found on a path within the Whiteways Research Centre.

The 53-year-old was found with a head wound on Wednesday morning after staff heard a gunshot.

Mr Millar of Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire, was a research and development engineer.

The apparent suicide came days before the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest this weekend where Renault drivers Fernando Alonso and Nelson Piquet Jr will take to the track.

Renault issued a tribute to Mr Millar following his death.

"Everyone at the team is deeply shocked to lose such a valued member of staff who had been with the team for 27 years.

"We have a very large site but it happened within the premises on a footpath.

"Known as Bill, he was involved in designing anything that can improve the car."
