The McLaren Formula 1 team has announced it has signed Red Bull's chief strategist Will Courtenay as its new sporting director.
Having initially joined the team as a systems engineer in 2003 under its Jaguar guise before moving to a strategy role once the team became Red Bull in 2005, he rose to become the world champions' head of race strategy for the past 14 years. But Courtenay will join title rival McLaren in a position reporting to its long-time racing director Randeep Singh as it aims to bolster its on-track racing operations.
