McLaren announced Nov. 10 that it would be returning to the Indianapolis 500 in 2019, and the effort appears to be moving full speed ahead. On Thursday, McLaren announced Bob Fernley has been appointed as president, McLaren IndyCar.
Fernley will report directly to Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing and will lead the McLaren 2019 Indianapolis 500 operation when Fernando Alonso will attempt to complete the Triple Crown of motorsport.
“Bob is a fantastic operator and someone I respect greatly,” Brown said. “His experience and leadership will be essential for us on this project. He is particularly talented at putting effective teams together and extracting maximum performance with finite resources. The Indy 500 is no easy race and Bob’s is a key role, so I’m delighted he’s on board.”
