McLaren CEO Zak Brown believes Formula 1 is set to reach an all-time high, once Max Verstappen’s dominance finally comes to an end. Is the sport set for another popularity boom?
According to Zak Brown, Formula 1 is set to reach new levels of competitiveness once Max Verstappen and Red Bull are caught. Last season, the performance of the teams behind Red Bull, such as Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, and Aston Martin, were quite evenly matched. The only team, besides Red Bull, to win a race was Ferrari, with a victory from Carlos Sainz. However, no team was consistently able to compete with Red Bull and Verstappen, who easily secured his third consecutive Drivers’ Championship. Brown believes that once Verstappen is dethroned, Formula 1 will become even more unpredictable and competitive than ever before.
