McLaren have replaced one technical director by splitting the role into three moving forward... F1
Who are McLaren’s new tech chiefs following James Key’s departure?McLaren have moved to form a ‘technical committee’ to replace the departing James Key from his role as technical director.
In 2018, team boss Eric Boullier was ousted during the summer, with the team also ditching chief engineer Matt Morris, while chief technical officer Tim Goss lost his position after the poor start to the season with the MCL33. Now, with Andreas Seidl cutting loose from McLaren as Audi came calling for him ahead of their 2026 entry, it’s Key’s turn to fall on his sword as the undeniably poor MCL60 has been a major misstep that has seen team boss Andrea Stella admit that challenging the top four teams is not likely to happen any time soon.
Rather than having a technical chief to oversee all of McLaren’s technical development, the new direction, effective almost immediately, will see three people assume responsibility.is perhaps the most recognisable name of the three, with the British/Greek-Cypriot engineer staying on at McLaren. Prodromou had been part of the technical core during the last McLaren makeover, having worked alongside Goss and Morris, as the team’s head of aerodynamics since 2017.
