Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren, criticizes Formula 1 teams for self-interested regulation shaping.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown has criticised Formula 1 teams over what he perceives as their undue influence in shaping the sport's regulations, a practice he describes as counterproductive and "embarrassing." His comments, made during the British Grand Prix weekend and, focus on the contentious application and voting on FIA rules that often reflect teams' immediate self-interest rather than the sport's long-term fairness.
“It does make you wonder, how did we go racing without any of this stuff for as long as we did and not have any of these controversies? “We’re all conflicted in some way at some point, and the threshold for teams to be able to rally together to block something that is not in there… “When Lando was up on penalty points two years ago, we made our case that actually the majority of his penalty points weren’t dangerous, and Otmar was totally against it, because obviously everyone wanted to get Lando banned.
