McLaren’s [announcement of technical director James Key’s exit](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/our-verdict-on-mclarens-drastic-action/) and the creation of a new tech leadership structure is a drastic change for a Formula 1 team whose momentum en route back towards the front has withered lately.

In a special extra edition of The Race F1 Podcast, Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Matt Beer convene to discuss the implications of McLaren’s course correction.

They talk about the disappointments that led to a change becoming inevitable, but also assess this revamp’s chances of success.

Given that the type of structure McLaren is now turning to hasn’t worked for it in the past, and the process rivals such as Aston Martin are making, should we have much faith in its big 2025 project?
