Since the change of engine supplier, McLaren is far from its former glory, and the points brought in by the two drivers during the last Hungarian Grand Prix are just a bright spot in an otherwise dull season.<\/p>\n
In this context, Matt Bishop, the director of communication for the team and the group, has decided to leave Woking, as he announced himself: \u00ab After much consideration, I have decided to leave McLaren, a company I have loved and served for 10 sometimes fabulous and occasionally difficult years. It was a tough decision, but it was the right one: now is the right time. \u00bb<\/p>\n
But this paddock figure is unlikely to stray far from a sport he is passionate about. It is therefore very likely that an announcement will be made in the near or distant future, potentially on the Liberty Media side: \u00ab The recent changes in the capital and management of Formula 1 have made it an even more exciting company to work for. With my desire to broaden my professional horizon, I intend to rest and reflect before considering which new challenges I will be able to take on. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Zak Brown, the group president, commented on the announcement of his now former director: \u00ab I always respect ambition and I know that opportunities in Formula 1 for Matt are numerous and varied. Given the exciting times in our sport, I can understand that he wants to pursue such opportunities. \u00bb<\/p>\n
So now the only thing left to find out is where the former journalist and editor-in-chief of F1 Racing magazine will go, who joined McLaren during the 2008 season, the year of the team’s most recent championship.<\/p>\n
