Zak Brown has signed a new contract to remain as the CEO of McLaren Racing, giving him overall control of the Formula 1 team until 2030.
The American joined the Woking outfit in 2016, initially as the executive director of the McLaren Technology Group before moving into his current position as the CEO in the middle of 2018. Under his leadership, McLaren has massively expanded its racing activities to add an IndyCar programme plus a Formula E and Extreme E operation alongside its historic F1 team. Brown said: 'I am thrilled to continue leading McLaren Racing and to be a part of such a historic race team.
McLaren was in a period of decline when long-time F1 fan Brown entered the organisation. The team, in the second year of its turbulent works engine partnership with Honda, finished sixth in the 2016 championship before dropping to ninth the year after. But as Brown - co-founder of sportscar, Australian Supercars and Extreme E team United Autosports - took the position of CEO, McLaren began its climb back up the championship.
