Zak Brown has been instrumental to McLaren’s latest period of domination, according to driver-turned-TV pundit Damon Hill.
Former Formula 1 champion Damon Hill praised Zak Brown for revitalizing McLaren and leading it back to success in F1. Since Brown took charge, McLaren has made a remarkable comeback, winning its first constructors’ titles in over 20 years. This season, McLaren continues to perform strongly, with Oscar Piastri leading the drivers’ championship and McLaren topping the constructors’ standings. Brown, who joined McLaren in 2018, played a pivotal role in rebuilding the team and setting it on the path to success. Hill highlighted Brown’s significant impact on McLaren’s resurgence after Piastri’s recent victory in the Miami GP. With McLaren overtaking Red Bull as F1’s top team, Hill believes Red Bull faces a considerable challenge in closing the gap to McLaren during the current rule cycle.
