Who's who in McLaren's restructure?

With Eric Boullier resigning on Tuesday night, McLaren announced a senior management restructure on Wednesday. We take a look at the key people in the team's new "simplified technical leadership".

Gil de Ferran - Sporting director

As a two-time ChampCar champion in 2000 and 2001, de Ferran has enjoyed success in motorsports both on and off the track. As McLaren's new sporting director he will oversee engineering and driver performance in a similar role to the one he had at B.A.R. (now the Mercedes F1 team) between 2005 and 2007.
