Zak Brown has taken aim at Red Bull...again.
Zak Brown has accused Red Bull of being “scared” of Max Verstappen as McLaren’s war of words with the F1 champions continues ahead of this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix.‘s closest challengers of late, with Lando Norris duelling Verstappen for victory at a number of races in recent months.Norris and Verstappen came to blows at the recent Austrian Grand Prix, where both drivers were left with punctures after a collision in the closing laps of the race.
McLaren were highly critical of Verstappen and Red Bull’s approach, with team principal Andrea Stella claiming the FIA’s failure to punish Verstappen “properly” for a series of incidents with Lewis Hamilton in 2021 had emboldened the Dutchman to race other drivers with such aggression.Stella’s comments were echoed by Brown, who told media including PlanetF1.com at the following race at Silverstone that F1 teams have a “responsibility” to “guide drivers on what’s right and wrong.
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Hungarian GP in Budapest, Brown has continued the war of words by claiming Red Bull are running “scared” of Verstappen.“We’re very honest with our drivers. If nobody tells him that what he did wasn’t within the regulations, why should he think otherwise? “The regulations are very clear – you’ve got to leave a car’s width. He didn’t. Why did he have to say anything? It just felt wholly inappropriate.”
