Verstappen ‘challenger’ on brink of F1 test with McLaren
Zak Brown has had conversations about the possibility of giving NASCAR star Kyle Larson a test in a Formula 1 car. Larson drew attention from F1 earlier this year by expressing confidence in beating Max Verstappen, sparking a lively debate. As the 2021 Cup champion, Larson already has ties with McLaren through an Indy 500 option in 2025. Despite lacking F1 experience, Larson’s F1 test is under consideration according to Brown, who mentioned scheduling as a key factor. Brown also implied that Oscar Piastri, one of McLaren’s F1 drivers, might be more inclined towards a ride swap similar to what Jimmie Johnson and Fernando Alonso did in 2018.
