McLaren drivers Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris have taken voluntary pay cuts as part of a raft of cost-cutting measures to help the team survive the coronavirus crisis with Formula One in lockdown.
The British-based team will also use the UK government's furlough scheme to guarantee 80 percent of salary for staff up to a maximum of ?2,500 ($3,000) a month.
"The McLaren Group is temporarily furloughing a number of employees as part of wider cost-cutting measures due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on its business," said an official spokesperson for McLaren.
"These measures are focused on protecting jobs in the short-term to ensure our employees return to full-time work as the economy recovers."
