Zak Brown The McLaren Racing CEO on Formula One in the U.S., his team's chase for a championship, and the future propulsion of the automobile
Time|November 25, 2024
The McLaren F1 team is in the running for its first Formula One constructors' championship since 1998. What's that like? I'm kind of living on the edge of my seat. That's why sport is always going to be one of the most engaging forms of entertainment for people around the world.

Zak Brown The McLaren Racing CEO on Formula One in the U.S., his team's chase for a championship, and the future propulsion of the automobile

Are you sleeping all right, or is your mind racing with all this stuff? Mind racing, but that's not new. I've been like that for 30-plus years, because I've always been fighting for a championship. That's how business feels to me; this one's just public in front of hundreds of millions of people.

There's been outstanding growth for F1 in the U.S., but other sports still dwarf the audience. What has to happen for that growth to continue? We've just got to keep doing what we're doing. I don't think we need more races. We're a new phenomenon in North America, and we need just more time. I think the Brad Pitt movie [F1, set for 2025] will move the needle-because who doesn't want to be Brad Pitt as a Formula One driver? Just like everyone wanted to be a fighter pilot after Top Gun, right?
