McLaren's Zak Brown: 'We have announced this big change to get our house in order'

McLaren's CEO Zak Brown says he is taking the necessary measures to return the British outfit to winning ways after news broke that racing director Eric Boullier had left the team.

For the fifth consecutive season, McLaren has failed to hit its pre-season targets at the opening races and pressure has built on the team's management after a recent run of poor results. On Wednesday McLaren confirmed Boullier had resigned from his position as racing director and announced a plan to reorganise the structure of the racing team under new sporting director Gil de Ferran, performance director Andrea Stella and team COO Simon Roberts.
