LONDON (Reuters) - Chief executive Jost Capito is leaving McLaren following the departure of ousted boss Ron Dennis, the Formula One team said on Tuesday. "As a result, we have agreed that he will leave McLaren Racing and will now consider other opportunities." Capito, a former Volkswagen motorsport director, was recruited by Dennis in January last year but did not start work at Honda-powered McLaren until September due to previous commitments. McLaren shareholders removed Dennis in November, with American Zak Brown coming in as the new executive director. Spaniard Fernando Alonso and Belgian rookie Stoffel Vandoorne are the team's 2017 drivers with the new season starting in Australia on March 26.
