McLaren F1 boss Andrea Stella says that the chance to hire Red Bull's engineering chief Rob Marshall was an 'unmissable' opportunity for the team. Here's what he said ⬇️
Only two months ago, when McLaren announced a restructuring based on three technical directors, that job was given to Neil Houldey.
"Neil has always been part of the process," said Stella when asked by Autosport about the change of plan."He's been in the conversation, he has actually played as a team player in this process. "There's so much to do in terms of engineering and design to create the right standards to design the fastest car in F1 that actually, we thought this is a very powerful combination with Rob, the more of the technical authority, and Neil running more of the day-to-day activities within the department.
"Certainly Rob was very keen to join McLaren," said Stella."He understood perfectly our journey, our ambition.
