What a brilliant video! Zak is definitely one of the main reasons why McLaren have risen close to the top of the midfield. The environment at McLaren is a lot better than before and kudos to Zak for leading such a well-run team.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Zak has been crucial on the commercial side of things which has enabled them to get back on the right track. His influence is underrated.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Thiago Kareem thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Tim Dev well he did if you watched the video lmao he had his own team and drove for his own team I used f1 game mode as an example because there is no other game that lets you own a team and drive for them
I didnt trust the process in 2017, i thought they would go down But since 2019 im a huge fan, and you have to respect that they went basically from 2nd worst team to 3rd best team (arguably)
They've had a great rise back to the upper midfield. Fantastic signings behind the scenes such as Zak, Andreas Seidl and James Key have been instrumental in their success.
Couldnt agree more i thought zak was going to be the man to kill mclaren but i was wrong. Hes made it into the social STAR of the grid. Who wouldn't want to be associated with that fun orange car and those high profile drivers.
Their decision to ditch out the Honda engine in 2018 probably a gamble for their future at the time, but at least they're successful with gained a lot of trust with the new investor
Hey mate, absolutely terrific video. I'm in the process of writing a book about a driver based loosely on Lando Norris, and I have my own version of Zak Brown and I couldn't for the life of me find anything that streamlined and explained his journey so this video helped immensely. Thank you!
One day in the future f1 fans will look back and Zak will be known as the person who saved McLaren and brought it back to winning [Edit ] let’s gooo P1 🥳 and P2 a McLaren 1-2
Great vid! Zak has the perfect mix of racing passion and business knowledge. I can’t believe you’re only at 2k subs, this channel is going to blow up this year!
Zak is massively underrated in my opinion and is the perfect man to lead McLaren. Thanks for your kind words, I just need to upload more frequently and I'm sure the subscribers will come!
Considering slightly surprised by no mention of James Key in this video considering he came in as part of the long term reshuffles and recruitment 99/100! Subscribed
Great video! I think a lot of people still underestimate the importance of the personalities of the people in charge and the atmosphere they create. You could probably structure entire management courses around the F1 paddock, with so many examples of brilliant and disastrous leadership and management styles. Toto's incredible leadership skills and the atmosphere he creates brings out the best in people - you could have the exact same people in a team like Ferrari or Red Bull, and they wouldn't be performing at the same level - and that absolutely has a lot to do with that successes of Mercedes. Zak was the best thing to happen to McLaren in a long time, and bringing in Andreas was a brilliant move on his part. I have always been a fan of Mika Häkkinen, so I've always had somewhat of a soft spot for McLaren. Between Zak and Andreas, and now Ricciardo and a return to the Mercedes power unit, I'm really excited to see what they can do in the coming years. (And yes, I should include a nod towards the technical direction of James Key in improving the car, and the developing talent of Landon Norris)
earlier this year McLaren sent a job post for someone in marketing. I unfortunately don't have all the skills that they were after, but the environment in the team looks so fresh and exciting, that I know I would have absolutely loved it. There's so much passion in the sport, so being on a positive side of that is so important.
The team has transformed over the last 10 years from cold and clinical to fun and passionate without losing any of their drive to get back to the front!
So when watching this, i thought this was by one of those big f1 commentators, and facts channels, then i looked and you only have 361 subs????? This video has insanely good video quality, along with amazing audio quality, it also made me like zak even more. I subbed, and i hope to see more videos like this, maybe of claire? considering her recent leave in F1, i think if you mention her name, it would give you a boost in viewers and or subscribers.
Thanks! I'm trying my best to make content that is entertaining but also informative. I've already done a video on Toto Wolff and I definitely plan to continue this series!
@@AlexTalksRacing terribly sorry, i didnt know you would respond this quick, but i did quickly check after i commented if you had already done toto, which you did, so i edited my message to ask for claire. Thanks for fast response tho!!
Haha that's okay, I have notifications come through on my phone and I want to engage with as many viewers as possible! I might do a video in a few weeks looking back at Claire's leadership of the team as I don't think the decline was her fault.
The decision to re-brand and reorganise the management structure has been a success. McL is now has one of the best looking cars on the grid for me and Zak with Andreas beside him seem like a winning combination.
Randomly scrolling F1 and McLaren twitter tags when I saw a link to this video. Top quality content! Gained a new subscriber here and I can’t wait to see more!
0:06 ------ absolutely ---- the unsightly halo, which isn't aerodynamic design. The grey image photo has a beautiful sleek look, while the yellow colour has the look of a station-wagon (and also with the ridiculous looking halo structure).
I've just realised I used the Schumacher name instead of Brown, sorry I thought this comment was on my latest video so apologies 😂 You're 100% correct Zak opens up a lot of opportunities in the USA.
Hey man great video! Zak was at it again mid year wasn't he when there were rumours floating around of McLaren possibly being bankrupt but then he was able to pull in some royal money from Bahrain.
Very true, management drives the culture whilst it motivates and delegates employees. There's much more to F1 than just engineering and driving ability.
Could you do a video on Mattia Binotto? Or maybe some of the more obscure F1 personnel no one knows much about such as Enrico Cardile who’s now the “head of performance development” for Ferrari
He also own a HSV Racing V8 Supercar which let to him buying a part share in Walkinshaw Racing v8 supercar team and Lando Norris along with Daniel Ricciardo are just itching to race Bathurst
@@AlexTalksRacing Well, i knew that already, but the timing is like: So you're a f1 fan and a mclaren fan at that. Also you watched the le mans race, which his team won in the lmp2 class. That means, you might be interested in more information about this particular person^^
This video I mainly focused on the managerial side of things, but you're right to point out how great of a signing James Key was! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
When Honda started to be successful after McLaren dropped them, I thought McLaren made a huge mistake. But in the long run, it was the right thing because Honda is leaving after 2021.
He was a key part of extending their partnership in 2017 until 2021 and helped them expand their activation programme. Basically the new deal between the two parties was more significant than the original one which was in place since 2005. I should've made that more clear. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
@@rinkinki no worries! Thank you for pointing out my initial error, I'm glad when viewers highlight things that I didn't explain properly and that was one of them 👍🏻
£150 Million of debt with the Bank of Bahrain and selling the MTC, 2 things he didn't tell you about McLaren, Financially insecure and long term a risky investment !!
@@AlexTalksRacing let's hope you are right, selling the MTC is losing the heritage of the team, Ron would never have done that, desperate times clearly
@@ANOAFunnyVideo I think what he's done is selling and then leasing it from the buyer. Zak talks about it in Beyond The Grid podcast that MTC remains McLaren's home and he said that McLaren is a racing company, not a real estate company, thus the move made sense financially, especially during the pandemic.

@@hamishcounsell5579 RaceDriver Grid was the inspiration for that game mode in F1 2020
Hamisxa an arcade game from over 10 years ago?
@@hamishcounsell5579 Yes and still the best team managing and racing game. Codies made it so good that any Grid after feels underwhelming

Gil de Ferran is a smart addition to the team because of his experience in open wheel racing even though he ran in the Indy Car Series.

love it!

I distinctly remember everyone hating on him when he took leadership of McLaren. People made it look like he stabbed Ron Dennis in the back.
Ferrari needs someone like him
They do, Zak is a great leader and motivator.
damn.. zak brown is responsible for that UBS logo in F1? i was wondering what that was
His marketing agency business was a key part of bringing the brand to F1.
well, here we are...
Zak is the daddy of McLaren
United Motorsport won 2020 LMP2 Le Mans
They're a very successful team!
Ricardo Tosser Rosset 😂😂😂💀💀💀
Good video, but Zak is not CEO of McLaren group - only racing.
Is Zak Brown related to James Brown ?
Why is this in my recommended after United Autosports Class win at le mans? xD
Probably because Zak Brown owns United Autosports 👍🏻
@@AlexTalksRacing Well, i knew that already, but the timing is like:
So you're a f1 fan and a mclaren fan at that. Also you watched the le mans race, which his team won in the lmp2 class.
