Zak Brown deserves to feel proud currently, with McLaren’s strong performance in Formula 1 and the commitment of their two drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, for the long term. While Mercedes and Red Bull are dealing with uncertainties around their drivers, McLaren is in a stable position with contracted drivers. Brown witnessed some intense battles between Norris and Piastri, including a nearly disastrous incident at the Canadian Grand Prix, showing their competitive yet respectful relationship. McLaren’s ‘Papaya Rules’ allow their drivers to race each other unless it harms the team, a policy that remains unchanged despite their lead in the constructors’ championship. Brown trusts in the camaraderie between Norris and Piastri, believing they can compete fiercely yet maintain a positive relationship within the team. At the British Grand Prix, Brown emphasized the importance of teamwork and driver chemistry, contrasting McLaren’s situation with the uncertainties surrounding Red Bull’s lineup.
