McLaren Racing CEO, Zak Brown, expresses concern regarding the dual ownership of Red Bull and AlphaTauri, especially as AlphaTauri is expanding its presence in the UK. Brown believes that co-ownership is unnecessary in modern Formula 1, noting that all teams now operate under a budget cap. He worries that the alliance between the two teams may potentially provide an unfair advantage and affect the fairness and health of the sport. Despite Red Bull’s dominant performance in 2023, Brown acknowledges that the budget cap has contributed to a more competitive field, with multiple teams now capable of achieving podium finishes. He credits Red Bull for their success and hopes that future seasons will showcase a more level playing field.
