McLaren have announced Red Bull's chief engineering officer Rob Marshall as their new technical director for engineering and design.
Marshall has been with Red Bull for 17 years but will leave immediately ahead of taking up his new role with McLaren on January 1.
Marshall's role sits within McLaren's new technical executive team which was created in March as the Woking-based team moved away from a single executive technical director.
He will work alongside Peter Prodromou, technical director for aerodynamics, and David Sanchez, who is joining McLaren from Ferrari in January as technical director for car concept and performance. All three will report directly to team principal Andrea Stella.
Marshall joined Red Bull in 2006 as chief designer and, along with Adrian Newey, helped create Red Bull's cars that won the drivers and constructors' championships from 2010-2013. He became chief engineering officer in 2016.
Announcing Marshall's appointment, McLaren team principal Stella said: "With over 25 years working in motorsport, Rob comes to us with a wealth of expertise and experience, elevated by his tenure and track record at Red Bull Racing.
"Rob's appointment is one of the fundamental steps and a natural fit to aid the team's journey to get back to our winning ways.
