McLaren will rotate staff next year
13 August 2008The McLaren team will start to rotate its staff during race weekends, next year as the F1 calendar expands to 19 rounds and the three-week summer break is no more. McLaren team boss Ron Dennis believes this makes it too much to expect race team staff to travel to every event.

"The summer break is absolutely essential for all the people who travel," Dennis told Autosport. "They don't get enough time with their families and this gives them an opportunity to have at least one week where they're not at the office or workshop."
"It's a key ingredient of keeping people happy and motivated and when you're addressing the calendar, which makes next year's difficult for them," he added. "We have to accomodate hat by rotating people and they will not be expected to go right through the whole season."
