Zak Brown highlights McLaren's one-two finish at the Hungarian GP, while Jos Verstappen criticizes the team's handling of the team orders situation involving Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
While Jos Verstappen believes the Hungarian GP will serve as an F1 2024 'regret' for McLaren, Zak Brown actually named it as their second highlight of the season.Returning to the top of the pile for the first time since 1998, the Woking squad seeing off Ferrari by 14 points to seal the crown.
For a time, McLaren also sensed a shot at both titles as Lando Norris set about chasing down Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, though a sensational drive to victory from Verstappen in Brazil effectively ended Norris’ hopes, while Verstappen made the end of the title race official at the next round in Las Vegas, securing his fourth World Championship in as many seasons. And Max’s father Jos suggested the Hungarian GP would serve as a major 'regret' for McLaren, with Norris giving up points at that round after reluctantly agreeing to concede the win to team-mate Oscar Piastri, McLaren having repeatedly urged Norris to let Piastri back through after undercutting the Aussie at the final round of pit-stops. 'But it’s hard to say anything about that, because you don’t know what’s going on in that team, what contracts are like and what agreements were made. 'But if I translate it to Max, I think he would have had trouble letting his team-mate pass. But everyone is different and has to react in the way that suits them.’ To pick another F1 2024 highlight aside from their Constructors’ title win, he quickly settled on Hungary, assuring that McLaren looked back at that race positively after scoring a one-two result. The only part of that race which Brown would change is Norris having taken his time in accepting the demand to yield to Piastri. 'I think actually Hungary, because even though Hungary was a bit exciting, it was a very dominant McLaren performance,' said Brown. 'So I’ve got to look at Hungary as one where, you know, McLaren running one-two, that would be it. Without the drama'
