Former world champion Fernando Alonso has left McLaren after negotiating an early release from his contract.
McLaren and Alonso have had an acrimonious relationship this season and a team statement said that both parties had "agreed to move on".

Red Bull and Renault are the favourites to sign him, and BBC Sport understands Red Bull are the more likely option.
