McLaren has revealed that Andreas Seidl’s departure as its F1 team principal was set in motion after he originally told the team he was joining Audi for 2026. Here's what CEO Zak Brown said ⬇️
was a bit of a shock, with him under a long-term contract that ran until the end of 2025.
“[It was] probably pretty clear where that destination would be, which was quite understandable, given his background. “And, after we intended to go public, the first person I was going to call to see if they would lead McLaren's F1 team is the gentleman sitting next to me, Andrea [Stella] - but not at that point, being sure whether that would be something that he would consider.
“After some good conversations, Andrea kindly accepted the role, which then put us in a very comfortable position to move forward,” he said.
