WOKING, England -- A man considered one of the commercial experts in Formula One has been hired as executive director of McLaren as part of a shakeup of the British team following the departure of Ron Dennis.McLaren announced Monday that Zak Brown, an American who founded marketing company JMI and is an ex-Formula Three racer, will take up his new role next month.Dennis, McLarens chairman and chief executive, last week failed in a bid at Londons High Court to stop the teams board from placing him on gardening leave until his contract expires in January.McLaren said Browns appointment will be a significant part of a restructuring program that will align the groups commercial and strategic operations relating to achieving success in Formula 1.Brown said his work at JMI, a large motorsport marketing agency, meant he dealt closely with McLaren and allowed him to develop relationships in the company.The team is continuing its search for a new chief executive to replace Dennis, who has been with McLaren for 36 years. Dennis stood down as McLaren team principal in 2009 but returned as chief executive five years later.Dennis oversaw the historic tussle for the F1 title between McLaren drivers Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in 1988 and 1989, before Mika Hakkinen clinched back-to-back championships with the Woking-based team in 1998 and 1999. Lewis Hamilton also won his first title in only his second year in the sport as a McLaren driver in 2008.McLarens success has dried up in recent years, and its renewed relationship with Japanese engine manufacturer Honda has failed to provide a return to winning ways.

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. As Cronulla shoot for club history, Shane Flanagan has rubbished claims his side have peaked too early and destined to fall short of a hallowed NRL premiership.The top-of-the-table Sharks can re-write the clubs record books with a 12th straight win against strife-riddled Parramatta at Southern Cross Group Stadium on Saturday night.And while their three-month winning run has emboldened The Shire faithful and prompted bookies to slash their odds, history shows it doesnt matter a jot when it comes to predicting premiers.Four teams since the beginning of the NRL era in 1998 have won 12 straight matches - Sydney Roosters in 2015, Canterbury in 2012, Melbourne in 2011 and Canterbury in 2002 - however none lifted the Provan-Summons Trophy in the same season.While mindful of not getting caught up in the hype, Flanagan dismissed suggestions their campaign was destined to crash and burn.Weve got heaps of improvement in us, Flanagan said.The playing group are really mature in their approach to the game and assessing how we perform.They werent happy with last weeks game, there were some defensive errors, on tackle five twice on (Shaun) Johnson.We spoke about it during the week and they still scored tries. So weve got a lot of improvement in us.And he said there was no reason they couldnt win their remaining 10 regular-season games.ddddddddddddMichael Ennis addressed it during the week - we dont need a loss before the semi-finals, thats just speculation and a little bit of media talk, Flanagan said.You learn a bit when you lose but you learn a lot when you win.Parramatta winger Semi Radradra is expected to take on the Sharks, despite being charged with domestic violence offences upon his return from Fiji on Thursday night.After one of the most tumultuous weeks in the clubs history, the Eels have an enormous task in front of them.It hasnt been easy sailing for us but to the players credit, Im proud of them... the way theyve fronted up every week and put their distractions aside and really played with plenty of pride and passion, Eels coach Brad Arthur said.The Eels on Friday signed former Sharks playmaker Jeff Robson from the Warriors, however he is unlikely to take on his former club.STATS THAT MATTER* The last team to win 12 straight in a single season and win the competition was Manly in 1987.* Ten of the Sharks 14 matches this season have been decided by eight points or less, including the past four.* Cronulla have won their first eight home matches for the first time since 1999.Source: Fox Sports Stats NFL Jerseys From China Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Store ' ' '
