Peter Prodromou has today joined McLaren Racing’s design department in the role of chief engineer.
Prodromou, who previously worked for McLaren between 1991 and 2006, joins the team after a successful stint at Red Bull Racing.
He is a key appointment for the McLaren team as it pushes ahead with the specification and development of next year’s, Honda-powered MP4-30 Formula 1 challenger.
“It’s fantastic to return to McLaren, and to see a mixture of faces old and new,” said Prodromou.
“Of course, I have first-hand experience of just what a passionate, focused and capable race team exists within these walls, and I’ve already seen the enthusiasm and positivity that exists to return McLaren to world championship-winning glory.
“I, too, am determined to work flat-out to do everything I can to help initiate a new chapter of success in McLaren’s history,” the British engineer added.
Racing director Eric Boullier declared: “He joins us at an auspicious time; we’ve spent much of 2014 working to develop and organise our design department, and his arrival neatly coincides with the conclusion of that restructuring”.
