Why Zak Brown ‘vocalised anxiety’ over the Christian Horner inquiry at Red Bull
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown believes it is “very important” to serve as a “voice for the sport” and felt it was appropriate to express his concerns about the Red Bull Christian Horner inquiry for the sake of Formula 1.
Off track matters dominated the headlines for Red bull at the start of the F1 2024 campaign, as an internal investigation into team principal Horner was launched following allegations of inappropriate behaviour from an employee, a case which was dismissed.
And now, in an interview with The Times, Brown would explain why he felt the need to speak out on such topics, painting the picture that “we are all brand ambassadors” for Formula One, thus he felt justified in expressing his worries given that Red Bull “are a big part of the sport”.
