Formula 1: McLaren technical director James Key leaves as new team structure revealed

Technical director James Key has left McLaren after a difficult couple of seasons and been replaced by a new design-office structure at the team.

Key's role has been split into three separate technical director positions under team principal Andrea Stella.

David Sanchez joins from Ferrari to lead car concept and performance.

He is joined by two internal promotions - Peter Prodromou on aerodynamics and Neil Houldley on engineering and design.

All three will operate with the job title of technical director in charge of their own area of expertise. Sanchez will start work on 1 January 2024 after completing his "gardening leave" from Ferrari.
