SILVERSTONE, U.K. -- McLaren CEO Zak Brown has admitted a return to the front of the grid is still several seasons away after the team started a new rebuilding process on Tuesday.
The first step in that process was racing director Eric Boullier resigning from his post on Wednesday, but Brown believes the whole team needs to be restructured. When it was put to Brown that Red Bull and Mercedes both required several years of rebuilding to make it to the front of the grid from their previous incarnations, he agreed that McLaren was still a long way off fighting for wins.
