Unfortunately there's been a change in the forum rating a couple of years ago. Positive rating only possible in e.g. car threads.

Doesnt say where he is going, but confirmed like you mentioned. A pity. He has been such a familiar face in the mclaren garage for so many years

Hiroshi Imai a key and tyre/brake engineer known as the "tyre whisperer" is leaving mclaren next month, after 15 years. His speciality was tyre performance with car dynamics for 15 years.
Looks like he is going back to Japan to pursue a new role in motorsport rather than joining a rival F1 team.

Yes for their test or support team, not racing team. Sounds like a nice relaxed role with family time also posible

Marc Cox has left McLaren to join Aston Martin as chief mechanic
