Zak Brown has previously been vocal about Red Bull and AlphaTauri’s close Formula 1 alliance, and the McLaren CEO has now called for rapid changes to be made.
McLaren’s CEO, Zak Brown, has called for swift changes to be made to Formula 1’s rules regarding team collaborations, particularly focusing on the relationship between Red Bull and AlphaTauri (formerly Toro Rosso). Brown believes that the current set-up is outdated and goes against the spirit of the sport, especially with the introduction of the budget cap in 2021. He argues that the A-B team ownership was initially implemented to support smaller teams, but with the financial field leveling out, it is now unnecessary. Brown also highlights that such collaborations benefit both the A and B teams, which is not in line with the regulations of other major sports. He emphasizes the need to review and modify the rules quickly in order to maintain fairness for fans and the sport itself.
