Martin Whitmarsh revealed recently the unrest that's taking place at McLaren. 

McLaren CEO Zak Brown claims that Whitmarsh may be looking for a job.

Racing director, Eric Boullier was involved in an incident with a journalist recently and then was absent from Saturday's traditional meeting with the press.

Brown was the one who was answering questions from a very curious media.

"I can confirm that all members of the racing team will remain on the team until the last race in Abu Dhabi," Brown confirmed.

Brown also said that he isn't bothered about speculation about his team.

"I saw the article, I had a little chuckle," Brown laughed.

"We have had an overwhelming response from the men and women in McLaren.

"So actually, it was a good article in that it got everyone pretty fired up.

"Just like it was one media outlet, I think it might have been one person in a company of 800+.

"It's a little disappointing to see him go to the media with such a trivial article but we are not worried about it."

Brown then went on to talk about the possible return of former team principal Whitmarsh.

"He has a long history here and a lot of success during Ron Dennis' time," Brown said.

"He is unemployed so I presume he is looking for a job somewhere.

"I've lost track, it seems he has become a journeyman - he was doing the America's Cup and then he was at the FIA for a short period of time.

"I'm sure he wants a job... but he's not going to get one here."
