McLaren’s continued lobbying against F1 multi-team ownership has been met with Red Bull defiance – but this is a debate where the goalposts have been moved carelessly
McLaren Formula 1 boss Zak Brown has been advocating for the FIA to step in and prevent co-ownership of teams and collaborations between teams in order to foster more independence and fairness in modern F1. During a press conference in Bahrain, Brown was placed alongside Red Bull team bosses Christian Horner and Laurent Mekies, where the topic of co-ownership was discussed. Brown highlighted that he believes co-ownership creates an uneven playing field in the sport. Horner, on the other hand, defended Red Bull’s ownership of multiple teams by citing examples from other sports and the origins of Red Bull’s acquisition of the second team. The debate between Brown and Horner showcases differing perspectives on the issue of team ownership in Formula 1.
