Stephanie Carlin, a well-known figure in international motor racing circles, is set to join McLaren in January as the Business Operations Director. She will bring her wealth of experience from her roles at Rodin Carlin’s Formula 3 and F1 Academy Teams, as well as Team X44 in Extreme E, to support and enhance McLaren’s F1 operations.
Carlin’s involvement will also extend to McLaren’s participation in the 2024 F1 Academy season, further solidifying her pivotal role within the team. With her impressive track record and extensive experience, Carlin is poised to make a significant impact at McLaren.
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella will be directly overseeing Carlin, and her move to the team comes at an exciting time as McLaren aims to build on its strong performance in the 2023 F1 season. The revamp of the MCL60 car helped the team secure fourth place in the constructors’ championship, and with the addition of Carlin, McLaren is hoping to continue this upward trajectory.
Notably, Carlin’s connection with McLaren extends beyond her new role, as she has a history with McLaren driver Lando Norris. Norris found success racing for Carlin in junior categories and will likely benefit from Carlin’s expertise and leadership in her new position at McLaren.
Carlin’s move to McLaren signifies a new chapter for both her and the team, and it will undoubtedly be a development worth watching in the world of F1.
