Coughlan and McLaren

ON Thursday morning Arrows technical director Mike Coughlan was seen poking around outside the McLaren motorhome, clearly looking to see if there was someone inside to chat to. When he was spotted Coughlan by journalists he waved two fingers in the air and made some rather rude remarks.

Coughlan is known to have a three-year contract with Arrows which comes to a close in August this year. Given the pace of the Arrows A23s this year, Coughlan is a man in demand and is believed to have been approached by a number of different teams including, according to our sources, McLaren which is looking to reorganize its design team for next year. Coughlan would be a valuable addition to the team.
