Zak Brown has no doubt that the likes of Rob Marshall and David Sanchez, who joined McLaren at the start of this year, will be able to accelerate the team’s progress as it aims to return to Formula 1’s top group.
In the spring of 2023, McLaren signed a contract with Rob Marshall, the former chief designer of Red Bull Racing, and David Sanchez, who previously worked at Ferrari, but both had to serve the mandatory ‘sabbatical leave’ before they could join. the technical team, the team corps from Woking.
The new MCL38 car will be presented on February 14 and McLaren hopes that the team can start the 2024 season no less confidently than the season before ended.
“I think the team showed what we are capable of last year, and now that Rob and David have joined us, we will only add even more strength! – said the executive director of McLaren Racing on Sky Sports. “The task of returning to the top is still very difficult, but it seems to me that we have everything for this.”
Now we have to beat the other nine teams, which is of course not easy. But the team has a very correct attitude, everyone is really inspired. We had a strong second half last season and I just hope that we go into the championship with a little more confidence than a year ago. Rob is full of energy, has many ideas and already brings his extensive and very valuable experience to the team.”
However, it is worth emphasizing that the new McLaren chassis was developed in any case without the participation of Marshall and Sanchez, and that the new specialists, with all their experience, will initially have to be aware and to study McLaren’s working methods. , and their contribution will be felt in later stages of the season.
