Zak Brown

Zak Brown acknowledges that McLaren's swift rise to championship contention in 2024 has surpassed expectations. Now trailing Red Bull by just 42 points in the Constructors' Championship, the team's progress has been truly remarkable.

Brown has spearheaded McLaren's expansive growth in racing, encompassing an IndyCar program, entries into Formula E and Extreme E, alongside their ongoing Formula 1 participation.

McLaren is currently undergoing significant positive changes, and there are hopeful anticipations that the upward trend observed in 2023 will persist into 2024, possibly resulting in a more enduring and consistent rivalry with Red Bull.

Andrea Stella's remarkable performance in his first year as Team Principal of the Woking-based team has garnered high acclaim from McLaren CEO Zak Brown.

For the next Formula E season, Sam Bird will replace Rene Rast in the McLaren squad. Sam Bird has competed in Formula E since its inception in 2014, competing for Virgin Racing, Envision Racing, and Jaguar.

In a recent interview, he boldly said, they are back in the top game. After losing Technical Director James Key and gaining new team chief Andrea Stella, all eyes were on the enormous upgrade package McLaren had prepared for Austria.
