Sources have spoken to F1Today.net and revealed that Eric Boullier will attend the Jerez test with the team.
The Frenchman has been linked with the role of Team Principal at the Woking-based squad after stepping down from the same role at the cash-strapped Lotus team on Friday morning, with Gerard Lopez announced as his replacement.
After a management shake-up at McLaren, with Ron Dennis reassuming his Executive role within the team, it is widely speculated that Whitmarsh would not continue as Team Principal in 2014.
Driver, Jenson Button commented on the idea of Boullier joining the team; "He's based in the UK. There are a lot of British people working here but there are also a lot of people from around the world that work at McLaren.
They do not pick people on their nationalities here, they pick them on how skilled and qualified they are, how good they are at their job."
McLaren unveiled the MP4-29 online yesterday, however no announcement was made regarding any management changes.
F1Today.net/nl will be present at the test in Jerez, with regular updates to be provided throughout the day.
