Ron Dennis declared that, starting in 2009, the McLaren-Mercedes team will implement staff rotation for the 19 Grand Prix scheduled for next season.
He believes that the expansion of the calendar and the absence of the three weeks of summer break, which will include a ban on testing, will make it impossible for every employee to attend every race.
This break is absolutely essential for all the Woking team staff members. Throughout the year, they don’t see their families enough, and it was an opportunity for them to have at least one week where they are neither in the office nor in the workshop, explained the Briton.
« It is essential to keep people motivated and happy when approaching a season, especially since what is planned for next year is challenging. »
« We will be committed to rotating the staff. Each person will not participate in all the races of the season. »
