I think everyone who blames Zak about Daniel leaving has clearly never listened to him talking about Daniel. I really like how Zak's been managing everything in McLaren since he entered his position back in 2016. We're gonna miss Andreas though this year, but surely Andrea Stella will do a great job. Loved this interview, hoping to see what happens next year and maybe we can celebrate Lando's first win anytime soon 🤗🤗

Pato and Lando have millions of fans/followers here in USA . . . although I had watched F1 once in a while, when Lando, Charles, George and Alex started their silly iracing (lawnmowers, racing backwards) on YT we all got involved. We all started following Pato b/c of his youth and exuberance. Team Papaya.

We can hope. As an Aussie, we love to see our fellow Australians and our Kiwi cousin's do well in any international sport. It is worrying that some amazing F1 drivers have struggled to drive a mclaren race car fast and consistently with confidence. Lando is the exception as he has never driven anything else. Great driver. Recent history with Alonso, Sainz and now Ricciardo is a sad chapter that hopefully closes next year.

Mclaren was only Papaya in some form from 68 to 73. They are much more tied to red and white because of Marlboro. What would be the best is mix the 1972 and 1974 livery white and papaya in a marlboro type pattern.

My personal opinion is he has done a fantastic job making Mclaren profitable again. On the other hand I really feel he is putting too many eggs in too many baskets but in saying that, he is the CEO and that was probably his most important objective. Can’t see Mclaren F1 competing for WDC’s for some years yet.

@T0FFII Год назад

Being candid myself as a McLaren fan.. quite the disappointing season. 2020/21 we had cars that looked good for a podium at a lot of races, finished 3rd in the constructors.. won a race last year, should've won two. And this season, one podium for Lando alone, best of the rest in the Championship but behind Alpine in the Constructors due to Daniel's form. On reflection was Daniel's move to the team a good idea? Prolly not, its a mystery to me why it couldn't come together even after winning a race.. but we move forward with Piastri who can hopefully hit the same standards Lando does, rookie season or not the kid has bags of potential. Ultimately Lando has said he doesn't expect the car to be where it should be til 2024.. but hopefully that doesn't mean next year can't be a decent improvement on this year.

Anyone would think McLaren is an American company? Watch this space. Its only a matter of time. Zac will soon negotiate a full American buy out. And if he had his way the Road Car Company and McLaren F1 would move to America. The latter only being held back because of logistics. I like Zac, his heart is in the right place, yet what has he actually done for McLaren F1? If he doesn't start pulling his finger out soon, and get the team back to where it rightfully deserves to be, I can see him being back in America.

Question? Just since you a owner racing. The Marlboro money of America. How do you feel about permanent sponsorships OR the total Marlboro funds split between U.S. paddocks.

You sat back and watched as the journalists hounded and harassed him and then you started shopping his seat.

I think Zak brown has done ok but he hasn’t brought McLaren back to wining races and he’s been with McLaren since 2016 so how good is his record when you really look at it and he did what everyone was clambering for and ditch the Honda engines and that has turned out to be a big mistake when you see what’s happening at red bull then he went for the easy option with a Mercedes’ engine and let’s be honest things haven’t been much better 1 win is that good and do we really think having a Mercedes’ engine is a good thing if you look at all the other Mercedes’ powered teams are doing really we all know a customer engine will never win you a championship ask Ferrari red bull or Mercedes for your answer Zak needs to get McLaren a works engine ok Ron Dennis wasn’t liked by everyone but he knew you couldn’t win with an engine bought of a rival team why would a rival team let you win with there engine..
