Zak Brown expects the top four teams in F1 to not have “anything between” them in 2025 – but there is one thing he thinks could be a differentiating factor.
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown foresees a tough “challenge” in the 2025 F1 constructors’ championship with Red Bull and Mercedes having rookie drivers. Brown believes driver line-ups will heavily influence the final standings, expecting a tight competition at the front. Liam Lawson and Kimi Antonelli will represent Red Bull and Mercedes, with limited experience in F1, which is a concern for Brown. Despite anticipating both drivers to win races, Brown also predicts they will face “rookie weekends” throughout the 24-race season. He acknowledges the speed of Lawson and Antonelli, but emphasizes the potential challenges their inexperience may bring in the championship fight.
