The story lasted a year. It was a good story, but it ended. With his elegant style, Emanuele Pirro has ended his relationship with McLaren: he is no longer responsible for the Driver Development Program of the Woking team to which he has dedicated all his energies in the last twelve months.
Now the Roman champion tiptoes out of the papaya colours, suggesting that he is ready to start a new adventure after having given shape to a selection of young talents that McLaren will try to promote with the internal forces of the team directed by the team principal, Andrea Star.

Could the five-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Audi have been approached by the leaders of the four rings to resume a common thread? Lamborghini recorded the exit of Giorgio Sanna from the management of Squadra Corse in mid-March: the Roman manager who contributed to the growth of motorsport in the world of Sant'Agata Bolognese stepped aside as soon as the Hypercar program started in Imsa and in the WEC and there is a need for an expert person who can follow the two championships with due care and experience.

Lamborghini has entrusted Sanna's role on an interim basis to Rouven Mohr, already responsible for the motorsport department, as Chief Technical Officer of Automobili Lamborghini, but it is clear that the sporting activity must be followed by a manager who is able to dedicate all his time to racing.
Emanuele has already been a valued consultant for the Bull brand and now that he has freed himself from McLaren's DDP he could resume a thread that had been interrupted…
