McLaren’s bid to end a wait of more than a decade to fight for F1 titles again was meant to be turbocharged by high-profile signings joining from big rivals over the winter - but one of them has already left.

David Sanchez was the first, and the biggest, of McLaren's new technical recruits - which made him a symbol of McLaren’s ambition, stature, and team principal Andrea Stella’s bold new plan to share the technical workload, encourage creativity and provide good, clear communication.

After just three months, though, Sanchez is out. One of the key pillars of the original McLaren restructuring from a year ago has gone, having barely had any time to influence things in a positive way.

So why’s this happened, how does it fit into McLaren changing its technical organisation yet again, and what does it mean for what McLaren is trying to achieve?
