Executive Director of McLaren Technology Group Zak Brown has said that he is deliberately keeping out of the dispute between McLaren and Ron Dennis.
Ron Dennis left on gardening leave at near the end of the 2016 season after being team principal at the team since 1981.

"There's trouble between (them)," he said.
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. I've deliberately kept my space and know that what all shareholders want are world championships."
Brown also played down talk that McLaren could be bought despite rumours of interest from Apple or a Chinese organisation.
However, he admitted that F1's most successful teams out-spent McLaren-Honda by $100 million in 2016, and that is compounded by a dip in results-based official prize money.
So Brown plans to do what he does best, and find new sponsors.
"I definitely would be shocked if I didn't have some commercial contribution in 2017," the American said.
"That's for the shareholders to decide," he insisted.
"I would not be surprised to be sitting in a McLaren uniform at a grand prix ten years from now."
