Zak Brown has delivered a word of warning to his McLaren team, despite the Woking squad hurtling towards a second constructors’ title in a row.
McLaren Racing’s CEO has issued a warning that the team could lose its lead rapidly if it becomes complacent. The squad is on the verge of clinching their second consecutive constructors’ title, a feat they have not achieved since their dominance in the late 80s and early 90s. With a substantial 299-point lead over Ferrari after 14 races, McLaren is aiming to surpass Red Bull’s record haul and potentially breach the 1000 points mark for the season. The drivers, Piastri and Norris, are clearly leading the championship battle, with Verstappen trailing by 97 points. Despite McLaren’s current dominance, the CEO emphasized the importance of continuous improvement and staying ahead in the highly competitive world of Formula 1 where even the smallest margins matter. The key to maintaining success lies in unity and perseverance within the team to ensure they never lose their competitive edge.
