McLaren have made another raft of changes to their technical department following the first three rounds of the 2024 season, with David Sanchez departing the organisation just a few months on from starting in his new role.
Former Ferrari aerodynamic specialist Sanchez was one of two
key winter signings by McLaren, alongside ex-Red Bull technical wizard Rob
Marshall, as the Woking team looked to build on their initial reshuffle last
year.

However, “following a number of discussions” over the job
responsibilities, Sanchez has vacated his position as Technical Director, Car
Concept & Performance, leading to a series of updates across the
department.
In a press release, McLaren stated that the latest changes
are “aimed at further strengthening and evolving the technical model”.
Following Sanchez’s exit, Marshall will assume the role of
Chief Designer, Neil Houldey moves over to become Technical Director of
Engineering, while Peter Prodromou will continue in his role as Technical
Director of Aerodynamics.
