Zak Brown has issued a bold statement that McLaren’s prospects of winning F1 championships “is as good as anyone’s” as the team look to fend off potential interest from Red Bull for Lando Norris.
, Brown explained why McLaren is the team to be at - not Red Bull - ahead of the new rules in 2026.
“We've got our team in place. It's stable,” he said. “We have additional talent coming to be additive to what we currently have. We have all the financial resources we need. “It's just going to take a little bit of time so as long as we can show this progress... '26 is going to be a huge reset for this sport and there's not going to be any excuses for us. We have everything we need from resources, people, two great drivers, all the technology, infrastructure.
“As long as [Norris] continues to see our pace and development then I think he'll have all the confidence in the world that this team's won 20 world championships and have everything they need, look at the momentum.“You look down the grid, there's as many unknowns about '26. Red Bull with a new engine, how's that going to be? They've never done that before. There's all sorts of variables going on there and I think our story is as good as anyone's.
