McLaren CEO Zak Brown has long raged against the system on this thorny topic. What view will the FIA take?
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has confirmed that the governing body is investigating the issue of multi-team ownership in Formula 1, particularly in light of Red Bull’s ownership of two teams raising concerns about independence and personnel movements.
The controversy was intensified with the quick transition of personnel between Red Bull team principal sacking and appointment of Racing Bulls boss last season.
Mercedes’ potential interest in acquiring a stake in F1 rival Alpine has reignited discussions on multi-team ownership, with notable figures like Christian Horner and Mercedes being linked to the stake.
The debate on multi-team ownership ethics has divided opinions in the sport, with McLaren CEO Zak Brown being a vocal critic, emphasizing the importance of sporting fairness and integrity.
Ben Sulayem expressed his reservations about owning two teams in F1, stressing the need for transparency and fairness in the sport to maintain the sporting spirit and support its sustainability.
