Sam Michael to leave McLaren at end of season

It was confirmed last week (22/10/14) that McLaren sporting director Sam Michael is to leave the team at the end of the 2014 Formula 1 season. The team said Michael was departing "on extremely good terms".



Michael actually handed in his notice in March this year as part of a long-term plan to move back to his native Australia with his family.

Michael joined McLaren at the end of 2011, having previously been technical director at Williams, and previously worked for Team Lotus and Jordan. He will attend this season's remaining Grands Prixs' with McLaren before leaving.
