F1: 3 people McLaren is depending on in 2019 

#2 Zac Brown

Zac Brown will be under pressure to get the team back on track after 4 disastrous years

Zac Brown has finally made a raft of structural changes in the organisation with Pat Fry coming in as Engineering Director, Andrea Stella as Performance Director and the firing of Éric Boullier. While a title sponsor is still not there, but Brown has brought in sponsors and found out new ways of bringing more financial muscle to the side.

Coca-Cola, Petrobras, Kimoa have come on board but they have lost many more since 2016 - like Santander, Johnnie Walker, Michael Kors, and Sensodyne.

They were lucky to nab the £200 million from the Iranian-Canadian businessman Michael Latifi, the father of Formula 2 racer Nicholas Latifi.

That 10% stake has helped them cover the costs lost due to the Honda split. Teams need the cash to not fall behind in the development race, which has a frenetic pace. McLaren and Brown both need more from each other in a crunch year.
