This article is not true. There are still two other McLaren certified technicians who worked with BMW NA under their program, and both are completely able to work on F1. I should know, as I know one of them, and he was the last BMW/McLaren certified F1 technician trained under Panis personally, yet he or the other guy is not mentioned in any of the R&T articles, whom are still able to wrench on these vehicles as long as they have the tools, which they had to hand back in.
