McLaren CEO Zak Brown was doubted – but has been proved right
It has been claimed that Zak Brown’s demands for how his drivers race each other have been indisputably correct.
McLaren’s Papaya Rules became known last season when Lando Norris was chasing Max Verstappen for the F1 title.
Critics questioned McLaren for not naming a No1 driver, but this season, Piastri or Norris are likely to win the F1 drivers’ title.
McLaren’s CEO’s philosophy of letting drivers fairly battle without naming priorities has paid off.
The intensity at McLaren is ramping up as Piastri leads by nine points from Norris in the championship.
Brown plans to discuss with Piastri and Norris before the title is decided, preparing them for a potential heartbreaking loss.
