"I am thrilled to continue leading McLaren Racing and to be a part of such a historic race team," explained Brown.

"It is a privilege to work alongside the talented men and women across McLaren Racing's different race series.

"Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of motorsport and strive for the highest performance on and off the track."

Paul Walsh, McLaren Group's Executive chairman added that: "Zak has demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities and has been instrumental in driving McLaren Racing forward.

"His extension reflects our confidence in his ability to lead the team to even greater success in the years to come."
