James Key now has a start date with his new Formula 1 team, McLaren, as announced by Formula 1.
Key, who McLaren signed in July last year, will join the Woking, United Kingdom-based squad as technical director on March 25, after an agreement was reached with Toro Rosso for his release.
Key has two decades of experience in F1, having begun his career at Jordan in 1998. He remained with the team as it became Midland, Spyker and Force India, rising to the role of technical director. He joined Sauber in 2010 before moving to Toro Rosso two years later.
Toro Rosso, who finished last season ninth in the constructors' standings, three places behind McLaren, have announced that Jody Egginton will be promoted to technical director in Key’s place.
