McLaren boss Zak Brown remains wary of co-operation between F1 teams.
Despite Mercedes pulling out of talks to buy a shareholding in Alpine, McLaren CEO Zak Brown will continue to advocate for clarity on co-operation between Formula 1 teams. Brown has long held the belief that relationships between teams are not beneficial for the sport. He emphasized the need for independent teams racing in their best interests and adhering to the same financial rules. Brown reiterated that the FIA, F1, and most teams agree on the necessity of having 11 truly independent teams in the sport. While McLaren may consider developing its own power unit in the future, the priority remains on maintaining the partnership with Mercedes, who has been a successful and valued partner for the team.
