McLaren’s three-pronged F1 technical management structure is now in place. Team principal Andrea Stella explains how McLaren will use that to build on its Red Bull-rivalling 2023 form, and why it’s needed to move away from a diluted (arguably outdated) model
McLaren made significant progress in Formula 1 last year and will have its complete technical leadership team in place with the arrival of Rob Marshall and David Sanchez in 2024. This suggests great potential for the team once they are all on board. The team’s technical leadership team consists of Marshall, who is responsible for engineering and design, Sanchez, who focuses on car concept and performance, and Prodromou, who handles aerodynamics. McLaren’s team principal, Andrea Stella, has a compelling vision for the team, which reflects the complexity of modern F1 teams and the need for an expanded leadership structure. The support functions, including finance and communication, are crucial for the team’s success and must be integrated effectively. Overall, McLaren is working towards a functional vision that encompasses all aspects of the team’s operations and ensures everyone is aligned towards a common goal.
