McLaren has signed Pat Fry to the role of engineering director, eight years after he left the team for Ferrari.
Fry worked for McLaren between 1993 and 2010, when he made the switch to Maranello. At Ferrari he worked his way up to director of engineering before his departure in 2014. He briefly worked as an engineering consultant with Manor before that team folded in 2016.
He has returned to Woking this week for a second stint with McLaren, part of CEO Zak Brown's major overhaul of the team's F1 operation so far. The team parted company with racing director Eric Boullier in July, while Tim Goss and Matt Morris, both key figures in its technical department, have also left.
