ZAK BROWN: McLaren will not be a MERCEDES satellite team

Red Bull has a satellite team with AlphaTauri in their own house, and Ferrari is just building a deeper connection with the Haas team. In Mercedes? Perhaps some evil tongues would claim to have her on the Racing Point team. But this is not supposed to be the case. In addition to the aforementioned Racing Point or Aston Martin and Williams, they will get a third partner with McLarn in the 2021 season. But there is no closer connection than in the cases mentioned, as Zak Brown, McLarn's first husband, pointed out. “It’s just a partnership,” the American explains. “The team is looking forward to this partnership and they are also looking forward to it at Mercedes in Brixworth,” adds Brown, who is looking positively at future collaborations to connect to the old successful times. “There are a lot of people on both sides who worked together when we won with the team

ANDREAS SEIDL: McLaren has a chance of SUCCESS again in the future

McLaren

That McLaren finished the 2020 season in third place, team boss Andreas Seidl could not believe until recently. Because when he joined the team for the 2019 season, nothing pointed to it. McLaren finished sixth in 2018 and the top three were out of reach for them. "It's been a big difference since my departure at BMW in 2009, because the difference to the first three teams has been huge, especially in terms of budget and resources." But Seidl brought McLaren back to the top and was able to look forward to third place in the constructors ’championship as early as this year. He is optimistic about the future, however, as Formula 1 has managed to take some steps to allow for fairer competition. In 2022 comes a new rule that is supposed to create more uniformity. Even more important is the budget ceiling,

But McLaren is in a unique position, as it will use Mercedes instead of Renault engines next season. Therefore, the Woking team had to use most of the chips to adapt the car to the new engine. This will limit the aerodynamic changes they can make as they have to introduce a new chassis, cooler and transmission, which, according to James Kay, will be similar to the introduction of an almost entirely new di

Will McLAREN enter FORMULA E in 2023?

Formula E, McLaren

The automotive industry, like motorsport, is in change. While exactly two manufacturers, Audi and BMW, have announced their departure from Formula E, the McLaren Formula 1 racing team is expected to take the direction of the electric racing series. This could also be related to the partial sale of the racing team to the Americans. "Until now, we weren't allowed to participate in Formula E because we were a battery supplier. The FIA tender forbade us to participate as a team," explained Zak Brown, McLarn's first husband, why they are only now flirting with Formula E. Williams supplied batteries to the first generation of Formula E race cars, McLaren Applied Technologies succeeded in the tender for the second generation. In 2023, the third generation of electric racing cars will be introduced, and the elementary component of the upgrade is p
