We have recently invested and worked towards developing and empowering the internal talents available at McLaren, and we already perceive and measure the positive impact," said the team Principal of the McLaren F1 Team."In parallel, we have been strengthening our roster by bringing new talents on board. The list was already strong and encouraging, and the addition of a high-end and skilled individual like Rob will further consolidate our ability to establish the highest technical standards at McLaren and be in condition to design winning F1 cars."
