The McLaren press release in full:
'McLaren Racing is pleased to announce that Eric Boullier has been appointed to the position of Racing Director, effective Monday February 3rd.
Eric is one of the most capable trackside leaders in Formula 1. He has played the central role in Lotus F1 Team’s recent successes, and brings with him extensive single-seater motorsport experience, having worked in senior positions in World Series by Nissan and A1 Grand Prix before moving up to Formula 1.
Working with Jonathan Neale (Chief Operating Officer) and his senior management colleagues within McLaren Racing, Eric will ultimately report to the Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Racing, an all-new position, whose yet-to-be-appointed occupant will in turn report directly to Ron Dennis (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Group).
Until such time as a Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Racing has been appointed, Jonathan Neale will be acting in that role.
Eric Boullier said:
“First of all, I regard this appointment as an honour, a privilege and a wonderful opportunity.
“The McLaren Racing workforce and the facilities at the McLaren Technology Centre are world-class, and I’m hugely excited about the prospect of joining such an outstanding team.
“I’m both eager and determined to play an active part, working alongside McLaren Racing’s other senior managers and directors, within a new operational structure, to bring about the changes that will deliver success.
“Last, I want to take this opportunity to assure the McLaren Racing workforce that I’m utterly determined to match their famous passion and commitment to win.”
Ron Dennis said:
“Eric’s appointment is an integral part of a senior management restructure within McLaren Racing.
“I’ve already personally conveyed to the entire workforce of the McLaren Group, which includes McLaren Racing, the values, principles and mindset that I intend us all to adopt, going forward. My intention is that from now on everyone at McLaren Racing will understand their responsibilities and accountabilities, focusing on their specific areas of expertise, in keeping with those values, principles and mindset.
“In due course we’ll announce the identity of McLaren Racing’s new Chief Executive Officer, who’ll report to me, and to whom Eric will report.
“I’m firmly of the belief that, once McLaren Racing’s restructured senior management team has been assembled, together we’ll begin the march back to full competitiveness, quickly and professionally, harnessing the fantastic depth of talent that exists within our organisation.”

I'm confused. With all the titles who is doing what at McLaren?
Is Boulier the new TP or is he more of a technical director (strategy and stuff?)
CEO is TP.Is Boulier the new TP or is he more of a technical director (strategy and stuff?)
Good for Boulier though as he seems switched on.

Fabulous. It's like intelligent and articulate John Prescott.

CEO is TP.
Not really.RD is being very clever. Brawn wants to take time out; he promised Jean he would do so and he will deliver on that. RD is sure to want Brawn to take up the CEO role, which will give Ross what he wants in terms of breadth of role and remit. Brawn's sabbatical will also allow him to see how hands-on Ron will be. And if Brawn doesn't come back, you can bet Ron has a plan B. He's always played the Honda relationship very well too and no doubt will have brought them on side with what he plans to do in the future.
Boullier is responsible for running the F1 team. Same role as Whitmarsh, with Jonathan Neale continuing in the CEO role.

So you mean: Jonathan Neale continuing to fill the role of acting CEO (until RB starts as the permanent, newly appointed CEO), right? Maybe we can have our cake ad eat it too, Eric + RB at McLaren?RD is being very clever. Brawn wants to take time out; he promised Jean he would do so and he will deliver on that.

By the way, exactly what does “Racing Director” mean? What happens to the “Sporting Director” role?

Racing Director in Ronspeak means "I want to make sure that I leave a big enough space for Brawn to jump into but really, Eric runs the race team" If you look at Boullier's role at Enstone, it was the same - Lopz and Luz set the budget, he runs the team.By the way, exactly what does “Racing Director” mean?
