McLaren boss Zak Brown has reignited his calls for F1 to address what he has described as being an “unhealthy situation” by allowing organisations to own two teams.
McLaren Racing CEO, Zak Brown, indirectly criticized Red Bull and its sister team, AlphaTauri, in an open letter, calling for a ban on shared ownership in Formula 1. Brown expressed concerns over the closer technical collaboration between the two teams and the potential unfair advantage it provides. He argued that other major sports prohibit ownership of multiple teams within the same league to prevent damage to competition. Brown emphasized the importance of independence, competition, and fairness in Formula 1, stating that strategic alliances and shared ownership models undermine these principles. He believed that Formula 1 fans value a level playing field and would reject actions that compromise fair competition.
