McLaren CEO Zak Brown has claimed the constructors’ championship this season could be contingent on the performances of Red Bull driver Sergio Perez.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown believes that the outcome of the 2024 F1 constructors’ championship hinges on Sergio Perez’s performance for Red Bull. Brown thinks that if Perez can regain his form, it will lead to a fierce competition between the two teams, but if not, McLaren has a good chance of dethroning the current champions. Despite Perez’s recent struggles, McLaren has been steadily reducing the point gap to Red Bull in the constructors’ race, making a potential championship victory increasingly likely. Brown anticipates a tough battle for the championship that could come down to the last race, highlighting the importance of Perez’s performance in the remaining rounds of the season. McLaren’s unexpected competitive form this season has surprised Brown, who didn’t foresee being in such a strong position against Red Bull this early on but is optimistic about the team’s trajectory for the rest of the year.
