Very few people are as happy as Lando Norris for winning his first race, and Zak Brown is one of them. The team boss has always had faith in his driver and believes Norris will be the next McLaren world champion. Currently, Max Verstappen is the thronesitter who has denied anyone the chance to win the title in the last 3 years and this year looks the same.
Lando Norris has to beat Verstappen to be able to take the title, but with the RB20 helping the Dutchman win every race, it doesn’t seem easy to do so. At least that’s what Zak Brown believes. According to Brown, Verstappen is only winning races because Red Bull has been giving him a car that can do so. While this claim is wild, to say the least, let’s take a look at what else Brown had to say.
Following Lando Norris’ win, Zak Brown was invited to the Beyond the Grid Podcast hosted by Tom Clarkson. That is where the McLaren boss spoke about Max Verstappen’s dominance in F1. He stated how he believes that it is Red Bull’s car that pushes him to victory race after race.
On the podcast, Brown revealed that Max Verstappen is not the only driver capable of being a world champion. In a bold statement, Brown complimented Verstappen saying, “As great as Max is, and he’s one of the best ever.” But then he shared his mind when he continued, “I don’t think Max wins the world championship today in any other car, other than the Red Bull.”
