McLaren boss admits ‘destabilising’ teams with ‘poison biscuits’
McLaren F1 boss Zak Brown emphasized the importance of ‘destabilizing’ other teams in Formula 1.
Under Brown’s leadership, McLaren secured consecutive world constructors’ championships in 2024 and 2025, marking a strong comeback.
In 2025, McLaren clinched their first championship double since 1998, with Lando Norris claiming the drivers’ championship, following Lewis Hamilton’s victory in 2008.
Brown and team principal Andrea Stella orchestrated McLaren’s success, despite initial struggles in the 2023 season.
Brown mentioned the strategic approach to weaken rival teams, referring to it as ‘poison biscuits,’ reflecting the competition’s intense nature off the track.
With new regulations set for 2026, McLaren faces challenges, potentially altering the competitive landscape, but remains optimistic about their performance.
Although Mercedes is speculated to excel under the new regulations, McLaren aims to stay competitive and continue contending for race wins, as Stella and the team are confident in their abilities and resources.
