Zak Brown has questioned the structure within the Red Bull F1 team and has made a punchy claim involving Max Verstappen.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown has suggested that the Red Bull F1 team is “afraid” of four-time champion Max Verstappen. Verstappen has become one of the most successful drivers in F1 history since joining Red Bull in early 2016, winning four titles and nearly 70 races. In his book, Brown hints that Verstappen wields significant influence within the team, possibly even more than the team principal. Brown implies that Red Bull caters the car specifically to Verstappen’s preferences, making it challenging for other drivers to perform well. The CEO also notes that Red Bull tends to avoid signing a strong second driver who could challenge Verstappen’s dominance on the team.
