After three disappointing years with the Honda engine maker, in which many McLaren technical faults made it laugh, the team had hoped with the move to Renault on a recovery.

Recently, the team had more and more indiscretions about the bad mood and mistrust of the leadership team. Boullier had to defend himself against the severe media criticism of his actions. In a new management structure, Simon Roberts, Andrea Stella and the new sports director Gil de Ferran will now take over Boullier.
For McLaren, the long failure is not familiar. Once dominated the team with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost Formula 1 Lewis Hamilton won the previous title until 2008 for McLaren.
