Boullier resigns in McLaren F1 team restructuring
Print Edition
Struggling Formula One outfit McLaren has accepted Eric Boullier’s resignation as racing director and announced a restructure of its leadership.
Boullier, who joined the British team in 2014, had overseen its worst run across its 52-year history. McLaren has not won a race since 2012 and hasn’t landed a podium position in more than four years. McLaren said in a statement that former IndyCar champion Gil de Ferran has been appointed to the new role of sporting director. McLaren chief executive Zak Brown said the team’s performance this year “has not met the expectations of anyone at McLaren” and that “the causes are systemic and structural, which require major change from within”. McLaren is sixth in the constructors’ championship, 203 points behind leader Ferrari. The British Grand Prix takes place on Sunday.
