F1 | Zak Brown discouraged: “We expect a 2017 without victories”

Zak Brown he is not afraid of fight between Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne: their rivalry it will definitely be day e correct, not like the one already experienced by the team McLaren during the 2007 season, although the team's fate for this season seems already written. “A 2017 without victories”, Brown surmised. “We expect another season of hard work to try to get closer to the front rows, but, realistically, even in 2017 we will not be involved in the fight for victories”, he specified in an interview with the US portal Roundandtrack.

Una season is he already leaves with his head down, Sara a simple tactic? “We are all frustrated, as is obvious, and we will do everything to get back to being successful. We have come from two decidedly negative years, with a trend to which we were certainly not accustomed. We cannot be pleased with all of this and we will do everything we can to reverse the trend.", Brown continued.

“If we want to be honest we will have to aim for 2018 – continued Brown, defeatist to the max. We still have too large a gap, which will have to be closed one step at a time. We will have to grow day after day, improve our position on the grid and be ready when possible. I repeat, this year we won't win a single race, we don't want to make fun of anyone. We will have to follow the right projects, not think about the partial result, but more long-term. We have great enthusiasm but we are still behind the others, so we just have to work"he concluded.
