Zak Brown has been named CEO of McLaren's Formula One team as part of a restructuring of the outfit's parent company.
The McLaren Group company had previously consisted of McLaren Automotive and McLaren Technology Group, with the latter taking the wider sub-divisions of Racing, Applied Technologies and Marketing. On Tuesday it was confirmed it has now been split into three clear parts -- McLaren Applied Technologies, McLaren Automotive and McLaren Racing.
When he arrived in early 2017, Brown was appointed executive director of the McLaren Technology Group. He was tasked with leading that wing of the business with chief operating officer Jonathan Neale.
