Formula 1 | McLaren, Brown outlines the path for the future: “We want to compete in other categories”

If Formula One costs are cut down, McLaren will consider launching new projects outside of the Circus. According to what was reported by Zack Brown, in fact, the Woking team would like to broaden its boundaries, comparing itself with other areas of motorsport. The reference, obviously, is to the IndyCar Series, a category in which the Woking team competed last year with the Indy 500. Furthermore, the FIA ​​WEC should not be underestimated, a series that Zack Brown and Fernando Alonso care about very much. particular.

Here are the words of the English Manager: “Confronting new worlds is always good. Now we have budget limits due to Formula One, but if there was a reduction in expenses we could evaluate other projects for the future. IndyCar and Le Mans are possibilities, but motorsport is such a broad world that I couldn't tell you for sure. We want to win and the objective would be exclusively this. We will never take on a project like this just to participate. Our shareholders like these ideas, but they have to be financially profitable. They only make sense for the brand if combined with successes”
