It’s encouraging to report that former McLaren leading light Tyler Alexander is recovering well after being taken ill last month.
A McLaren spokesman told this blog: “Tyler is currently undergoing rehabilitation after suffering a stroke in early February. He’s in excellent care and is making very good progress. He’s grateful for all the support and affection he’s receiving.”
Alexander was one of the original McLaren employees, and was part of the team when it attended its first Grand Prix in Monaco in 1966. He left shortly after Ron Dennis took control to run his own Indycar team with Teddy Mayer, and later was one of the founders of the Beatrice Haas F1 team. He then returned to McLaren, and remained at Woking until his retirement.
We wish him a speedy recovery.
