Pedro de la Rosa: 'Only name the same at McLaren'

Former McLaren driver Pedro de la Rosa has said that the team's name is the only thing that has remained following a series of sweeping changes in recent years.

"I don't know the current McLaren very much," the Spaniard told AS.

"There are still fantastic people and I still have friends, but 80 percent of the people with whom I had the privilege of working at McLaren are now at Mercedes or Red Bull or Ferrari.

"The McLaren today with Honda, I cannot say anything because I do not know anyone, but the only thing that remains is the name."

McLaren are enduring a tough season and are yet to register a single point in the rankings.
