McLaren Chief Zak Brown: F1 Growing More Competitive, Resembling IndyCar’s Intensity

1 years ago By Sports Desk

British F1 team Mclaren Chief Zak Brown, believes that F1 is growing more competitive with each season, resembling Indycar’s Intensity. 

Indycar has been long known for its close competitive racing and close battles in each races. And similarly has experienced the same and close battles in 2023 with the implementation of the budget cap. 

However the statistics shows it to be otherwise. As the
IndyCar has thrived with seven different race winners spanning four teams, In F1 Red Bull claimed an impressive 21 wins out of 22 Grands Prix in 2023, propelling Max Verstappen to his third consecutive world championship.

Zak Brown who has teams in both F1 and Indycar has stated that F1 is not far from achieving an IndyCar level of parity as the current technical regulations persist into 2024 and 2025.

When asked about this Zak Brown stated  “If you look at the timesheets even these teams that are ninth and 10th [in the standings] are a threat for Q3,” Brown said. “For the championship, it’s probably going to be the same cast of characters, but I think Formula 1 is going to get more competitive. And it is gonna reach the intensity of the American series IndyCar. 

“I think it’s going to be more like IndyCar where there’s a lot of drivers that can win at any one time and rarely someone runs away with the championship.

“If Max had slipped on a banana peel, the championship would have looked quite a bit different with how many people have been on the podium, how many people are finished second.

“I’m anticipating that getting closer and I think it’ll be great for the sport, that there won’t be this level of dominance and it’ll be like seven, eight drivers that can win in any one weekend. That’ll be awesome for the sport and I think that’s where we’re headed”
