Personnel shuffle at McLaren
McLaren have three changes to their technical department ahead of the 2011 season.
In a move that is a restructure rather than a change in personnel, Paddy Lowe leaves his position as McLaren's engineering director to take up the role of technical director.
The shift means that Lowe will become take charge of the team's technical projects. he will continue to lead McLaren's technical strategy and represent the team's technical interest with FOTA and the FIA.
Tim Goss, the chief engineer on the MP4-25, will take over the position of director of engineering.
Neil Oatley will continue in his position as design and development director who will focus on bringing new upgrades to the car.
The restructuring comes six months after long-term chief engineer of race development, Pat Fry, crossed the paddock to Ferrari, and can be interpreted as an attempt to run the department more effectively and efficiently as the team adjusts to his absence.
