Summary

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown for episode 250 of The Intercooler podcast. Having orchestrated one of the most remarkable turnarounds F1 has ever seen, taking one of the slowest teams on the grid in early 2023 to the constructors' championship in 2024, Brown has his sights set on more title glory in 2025. He explains how he reorganised the team to lead it back to the front, how McLaren almost lost the title by seven-tenths of a second, and why drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri can step up to another level in 2025.
