There is yet some more action in the field of Motor racing and now enthusiastic fans are eagerly waiting for the next one to happen. Since the season close last year new and interesting facts and exits is something which the motor sports fans are now used to. In a recent move Chief executive Jost Capito decided to leave McLaren following the departure of ousted boss Ron Dennis, the Formula One team said on Tuesday.
As per a Formula One Spokesman who said, “Regrettably we have not been able to find common ground with Jost with regard to what is and will be needed to make the team successful again,” “As a result, we have agreed that he will leave McLaren Racing and will now consider other opportunities.”
Capito, a former Volkswagen motorsport director, was recruited by Dennis in January last year but did not start work at Honda-powered McLaren until September due to previous commitments.
McLaren shareholders removed Dennis in November, with American Zak Brown coming in as the new executive director.
Brown has been working alongside chief operating officer Jonathan Neale, with Eric Boullier in charge of day-to-day management at the former world champions who last won a grand prix in 2012.
Spaniard Fernando Alonso and Belgian rookie Stoffel Vandoorne are the team’s 2017 drivers with the new season starting in Australia on March 26.
Even McLaren recently confirmed that Jost Capito has officially left his post as McLaren’s chief executive as the Woking team’s restructure continues.
The 58-year-old only started working for McLaren in September due to his commitments with Volkswagen Motorsport in the World Rally Championship, having been recruited by then-chairman Ron Dennis.
But Dennis’ departure coupled with Zak Brown’s arrival as executive director at the end of last season put Capito’s role under threat, and his exit has now been confirmed by McLaren.
A McLaren team spokesman said, “Jost Capito joined McLaren after four successful years at VW Motorsport, with a strong commitment to bringing success back to McLaren,” “He wanted to build again a winning team and fully focus on making the McLaren Formula 1 car competitive, with the aim of winning World Championships in coming years.
