McLaren managing director Jonathan Neale has said that the team is more than happy to wait for Peter Prodromou, head of aerodynamics at Red Bull to finish his contract.

The team earlier confirmed that Prodromou will be rejoining the team after his contract with Red Bull expires in 2015.

“Peter’s a great guy and he’s an important part of their operation. I can’t see any incentive for Red Bull to release him early. We’d be very happy to have him here starting tomorrow morning but we fully respect Red Bull’s position; as we do when we’re recruiting anybody from another organization,” Neale said.

“They know that, we understand the position with Red Bull and we fully respect Christian’s position. Peter’s a key part of their operation at the moment, we look forward to welcoming him here,” he added.

Neale also said that Red Bull might change their minds and made it clear that the decisions were in their hands rather than McLaren’s.

“Who knows what will happen over the course of a year, but as I say it’s entirely at Red Bull’s gift. It’s for them to decide, it’s not for us, not for McLaren to decide that,” he said.
