Fair play to Zak Brown and Andreas Siedl. They have overseen a great McLaren resurgence.

I couldn't read the Telegraph article, as it requires a subscription. However, this BBC article more than likely covers the salient points.

they have said all year long that they're going to need to do it, and i'm glad they've found someone suitable. having one solo investor just doesn't seem sustainable nowadays, unless you're the amazon fella or elon musk or something.

Interestingly MacLaren have signed probably the most marketable and promotable driving pairing on the grid.
Both Danny and Lando have personalities that are easily transferable into Esports or gaming charachters. Will be interesting to see how that side od the business is handled. |

Why would you buy a McLaren when the spare parts cost a small fortune, and every 6 months there is a new and shinier model... The combination of the two factors cause McLaren depreciation to be horrendous compared to Ferrari deprecation, does it not? |
