I have great admiration for this man's honesty, dedication, and how humble he is. Mclaren has been dragged through the dogs during the Honda years, and he just kept his head down and came back to the top again. The exact opposite of squirrel irritable.
I remember the time he just entered McLaren and the hate he got. I got a feeling he was going to make a change in the team and so he did! Cant wait for McLaren Mercedes! Go Zak and McLaren!
It really was tough as a McLaren fan to see Zak come in and Ron leave with the team in serious disarray and I'll admit I was so wrong for doubting him in the early stages. Thank you Zak you have done us proud and I'm proud as a fan for all the work you've done to bring us all back together as a team 👌
That story about Andretti, Newey and him. That is wild. That moment is worth what he paid. As I finish this, I already loved this guy. He's the type of person as a leader every person should experience in their life. I'm all in for being a McLaren fan as long as he is there.
@@Guldrimand yeah they did but it was also luck and I want them to be fighting for the podiums frequently not ones in a while.........but it will take few years
I would love to see both McLaren & Aston Martin fighting for podiums & wins in coming years. That would be something. Everyone is bored seeing either Redbull or Mercedes win. 🙏🏼
I hope we get Ferrari, McLaren, RBR, Reanault and Aston Martin all challenging Mercedes and I hope Williams also get back to what they were. F1 NEEDS more than two to be challenging. I live in hope for 2022
This man has helped us reach back to podiums......not back to back....but everything counts.....he's made big decisions and done everything right for McLaren......he is definitely going down as one of the best.....I know next year id going to be better especially because Zack brought back Mercedes power unit for McLaren
I love Zak's english, and the whole guy is incredible. He know he don't know everything about the everything, so he hire peoples, who knows more than he, and he trust them. For example Andreas Seidl.
Zak is a REAL down to earth character with the MIDAS touch...... it's no wonder the McLaren team get on so well, with such a friendly atmosphere. That perfectly balanced harmony, is going to take them far, and I genuinely wish them a very successful climb to the top.
Domenecali, Briatore and Zak Brown all said they never had any issues with Fernando. He may be a little tough to manage but If you know how to manage him he is a joy to work with atleast what these people said. But everyone claims that Nando is toxic because Ron Dennis couldn't manage both Nando and Hamilton in 2007 and british media put the whole blame on Fernando. He is a probably greatest driver of this century next to Schumacher and even that is close. But he does not have statistics to prove it. People just love to call him toxic without knowing everything. I am a Ferrari fan from years and the efforts that Alonso put in the way he drove subpar ferrari specially in 2012, I will always love him and support him.
@@peterking9579 tbh hamilton was with mclaren long before 2007 so it was kind of his team already. but those things just showed that it was more about him then nando
What a fantastic interview. Zak sounds like a brilliant business man and the perfect person to support Dani Ric to take the next step towards winning a F1 crown. Bring on 2021, can't wait! 💯🇦🇺🏁
Fantastic interview. As a decades-long McLaren fan, it is supremely encouraging to see the progress being made under Zak's leadership. I wish him and the team all the best for the future. Let's go get those wins and championships.
I did not know anything about Zak Brown, despite being an F1 fan since the early eighties. He comes across as a genuine car guy and also someone who is honest and dedicated to all aspects of motorsport. Great interview!
What an amazing man Zak is. Love him or hate him, his passion for motorsport is unquestionable and I feel that great things are possible for McLaren under his reign if the budget cap is effective in levelling the playing field.
I love how this man talks!!!! You can feel how proud he is of what he has achieved but you can't feel him being negatively boastful! Truly a down to earth man!
Superb interview, not least because of the huge skills of the interviewer and the great questions perfectly pitched. I'm confident Zak Brown can take McLaren back to a champion winning team, maybe over the next 3 years but this is the man to do it, in the same league as Horner & Wolff and that's what we need.
As an American asking what Wheel of Fortune is was priceless! 👌🏻 love Zak he appeals to a whole different audience and seems like a great businessman and people / personality management
I didn’t think Zak was going to do anything meaningful at McLaren. I was wrong. He comes across as being full of &*#$(‘a but in fact he’s proven that he walks the walk and is an effective manager.
Wonderful interview - didn't know Zak has so many stories to tell - and what a pleasant discovery of his character, history, and insights into Formula 1
Can wait for next week's episode of Beyond the Grid. The race driver who is intelligent, having great sense of humour and an individual who has the ability to work on his own.
As much I admired Ron's perfection, Zak is the perfect leader for the current team. Humble yet fully informed and knowledgable of the sport and business. Love his passion in the brand/team!
I think Zak should go: "To whom it may concern, F**k You!" hahahahaha He had so many doubters at the start, even from McLaren fans. He did an amazing job, starting from an under performing car / Engine and a team in turmoil. I met him a couple of times at Goodwood and F1, and he is just so casual and cool! We all need to remember that F1 is not only a sport, but it's entertainment.
I thought Zak was nothing more than a businessman who ran an F1 team but he has impressed me with his leadership and putting the right people in the right positions. He even had more racing knowledge than I realized
This was an amazing podcast learning more about Zak Brown, but I can't wait for the podcast with Sebastian Vettel! I genuinely thought there was already a podcast out there starring Sebastian, but clearly not, so like I said, can't wait for that podcast😄
Yup, when he turned up he had everything to prove and he has done more as you say, now hopefully getting that 3rd slot. Next year with a Honda powerpack already proven with RB, let us just see????
I would love to see both McLaren & Aston Martin fighting for podiums & wins in coming years. That would be something. Everyone is bored seeing either Redbull or Mercedes win. 🙏🏼
Zak is an amazing guy/boss. I could lieten to him all day long. Spoilers When i heard seb’s voice at the end my eyes just lightened up. I’ll be waiting for that
I would really appreciate if anyone can timestamp the portions where he talks about Fernando Alonso? I am lazy to hear the whole podcast right now, but I wanted to hear Nando's section if were there any
I have great admiration for this man's honesty, dedication, and how humble he is. Mclaren has been dragged through the dogs during the Honda years, and he just kept his head down and came back to the top again. The exact opposite of squirrel irritable.
Yokes!!!
Arguably the most likable team boss on the grid at the moment
andreas is the team boss hes the CEO
I think Toto is cooler and liked by more people
@@MuhammadIbrahim-zf5hy no.
Christian Horner.
@@lecrammarcelo5146 Horner? Pfft.
@Auxilium binotto is probably the most hated because of the fiat 500 XL he's built
I remember the time he just entered McLaren and the hate he got. I got a feeling he was going to make a change in the team and so he did! Cant wait for McLaren Mercedes! Go Zak and McLaren!
You can easily see how likable he is on the grid by the way Lando jumped in him after his podioum.
It really was tough as a McLaren fan to see Zak come in and Ron leave with the team in serious disarray and I'll admit I was so wrong for doubting him in the early stages.
Thank you Zak you have done us proud and I'm proud as a fan for all the work you've done to bring us all back together as a team 👌
Honestly, this hour flew by listening to Zak. He is such a gentleman!
when Zak and Toto talk, I listen.
What an awesome car collection, holy moly.
props for saying both Perez and Hulkenburg deserve seats 😎
That story about Andretti, Newey and him. That is wild. That moment is worth what he paid.
As I finish this, I already loved this guy. He's the type of person as a leader every person should experience in their life. I'm all in for being a McLaren fan as long as he is there.
He's such a down-to-earth guy. Humble but firm. I wish him nothing but success.
"Slipstream" for a racing streaming service is genius.
I can't wait to see Mclaren in the front of the grid and fighting for podiums again
They do fight for podiums 2 this year and hopefully a couple of wins in the next few years
@@Guldrimand yeah they did but it was also luck and I want them to be fighting for the podiums frequently not ones in a while.........but it will take few years

Rajveer Singh Dhillon I think Sainz was up for a podium in Monza either way. He jumped Bottas and stayed close to Hamilton and Redbull were nowhere.

ITS HAPPENING ITS FINALLY HAPPENING
win or lose we will always support you Mclaren .................... at least I would

agreed, the only thing you hear that nando really builds a team around him which some might not like. but that is what great champions do/can do.
When Fernando joined McLaren Hamilton said to him " welcome to my team" disrespectful to a two time champion from a rookie.
@@peterking9579 tbh hamilton was with mclaren long before 2007 so it was kind of his team already. but those things just showed that it was more about him then nando
Alex Almighty agreed with everything except flr that cringy “goat” thing
My thoughts exactly
What a fantastic interview. Zak sounds like a brilliant business man and the perfect person to support Dani Ric to take the next step towards winning a F1 crown. Bring on 2021, can't wait!
💯🇦🇺🏁
Zak really is the reason mclaren will probably win the championship in the next few years
Agreed, it's fascinating how much impact the manager makes, in this and so many sports and fields in life.
Fantastic interview. As a decades-long McLaren fan, it is supremely encouraging to see the progress being made under Zak's leadership. I wish him and the team all the best for the future. Let's go get those wins and championships.

He’s definitely got the drive to push McLaren to the top!
very elegantly spoken gentleman definitely incredibly intelligent and focused on his vision
Amazing Interview.....If you like racing, McLaren, or the business of racing. This is a must listen.
You know you're old when your favorite cars are considered "classic"
I love how this man talks!!!! You can feel how proud he is of what he has achieved but you can't feel him being negatively boastful! Truly a down to earth man!

Zak Brown's respect and openness is great to see! Greetings from the USA!
As an American asking what Wheel of Fortune is was priceless! 👌🏻 love Zak he appeals to a whole different audience and seems like a great businessman and people / personality management
Yooo I love working and listening to these! Thanks F1!
" Who knows whats happening with Kee-Mee" 59:26
Excellent Interview. This interview actually could be included in leadership seminars and courses.
Really enjoyed learning more about Zak and hearing his thoughts on the sport. His work is appreciated. Can't wait to hear Seb.
literally happy hogan from the MCU
I can see that!
That was a very quick hour. Brilliant.
I didn’t think Zak was going to do anything meaningful at McLaren. I was wrong. He comes across as being full of &*#$(‘a but in fact he’s proven that he walks the walk and is an effective manager.
Great interview. Really impressed with Zac’s professionalism and clear support for his past and present drivers.
It's interesting to hear the British-English twang ("down", "at least", etc) here and there surrounded by his American-English accent.
I remember how much hate he got when he joined McLaren , but with the recent success of McLaren Renault ,he has brushed off all that.
What a great interview and genuine guy. Thank you
Wonderful interview - didn't know Zak has so many stories to tell - and what a pleasant discovery of his character, history, and insights into Formula 1
excellent interview and insight ...knew nothing about the man before now glad he's where he is ... come on Mclaren :D
Can wait for next week's episode of Beyond the Grid. The race driver who is intelligent, having great sense of humour and an individual who has the ability to work on his own.
I like that how Zak speaks Seidl, Sainz and Norris.
And of course how high he ranks Daniel.
Cant wait 2021.
Love this guy, and love the fact an american is so passionate for mclaren and f1. Awesome!
I will now be a Zak Brown fan forever. Another Southern California boy, Long Beach GP, Riverside Raceway. I feel I really know him.
As much I admired Ron's perfection, Zak is the perfect leader for the current team. Humble yet fully informed and knowledgable of the sport and business. Love his passion in the brand/team!
Beyond the Grid is my favorite F1 show! So much professional insight and storytelling ! Thanks to Tom Clarkson
Not only a mclaren boss but a great singer
Who’s here after there p3 finish p3 baby whooooo
Zac is great, honest and such a great driver manager- unlike RP Ormar who just lies and lies to cover the Strolls!
A true motorhead! It's awesome to see McLaren's success growing under Zak
This guy, what a legend! perhaps the most petrol-head in the world! any contenders?
I have a whole new respect for Zak! I thought he was just some marketing guy. My bad!
Zak is the most human and humble of all the F1 team personal, in my opinion.
Tbh one of the most likeable guys on the grid.
yeah.. he's pretty cool
I think Zak should go: "To whom it may concern, F**k You!" hahahahaha
He had so many doubters at the start, even from McLaren fans.
He did an amazing job, starting from an under performing car / Engine and a team in turmoil.
I met him a couple of times at Goodwood and F1, and he is just so casual and cool! We all need to remember that F1 is not only a sport, but it's entertainment.
SEB next time? YESSSS!! Been waiting for that for so long.
I thought Zak was nothing more than a businessman who ran an F1 team but he has impressed me with his leadership and putting the right people in the right positions. He even had more racing knowledge than I realized
Zak, trust me, You are the best team leader!
Great interview with Zak!
Nigel Stepney next, please?
This was an amazing podcast learning more about Zak Brown, but I can't wait for the podcast with Sebastian Vettel! I genuinely thought there was already a podcast out there starring Sebastian, but clearly not, so like I said, can't wait for that podcast😄
Zak saying hopefully Lando and Daniel sees Sainz in the rear view reminds me of Max's comment from the Netflix series after Daniel left RedBull.
Lets go champ!
My second favourite team boss behind Horner.
You've effectively been teasing us since January
When are you getting Ron Dennis on this?!
Great episode!
Start a sports car team with hulkenburg and Perez. What a lineup
He owns United autosports sportscar team, Lando & Fernando have raced for him at Daytona in 2018
Waiting for Mclaren-Mercedes thing. That thing made us happy for years. Let's do it again and even better.
east or west Mclaren is the best
Yup, when he turned up he had everything to prove and he has done more as you say, now hopefully getting that 3rd slot. Next year with a Honda powerpack already proven with RB, let us just see????
I can't wait for next Week Podcast with Sebastian Vettel 🤩😍
Thank you for the upload. A very interesting episode 🤙🏾
What a great leader 🧡🧡🧡 Love this team
Hope ferrari finds someone like him
Everytime I hear this jingle I relax.
Love to listen to Zack!!!
Yes seb next week!!! Can't wait
Very allround chill guy!
What a great Podcast!
I hope Vettels podcast will be 2 hrs long 🙏
This interview was too short!
Does anyone else thinks that the opening intro sounds like san andreas
if you take the zooming cars out, yeah it kinda has that vibe
when that quarterback analogy came out hahahha
What a lovely bloke!

Hey Tom, when are you going to get Keke Rosberg on Beyond The Grid?
He's a S tier
I would love to see both McLaren & Aston Martin fighting for podiums & wins in coming years. That would be something. Everyone is bored seeing either Redbull or Mercedes win. 🙏🏼
Zak is an amazing guy/boss. I could lieten to him all day long.
Spoilers
When i heard seb’s voice at the end my eyes just lightened up. I’ll be waiting for that
A typical American guy but not like a common rude American
Probably the best team manager far more than Ron Dennis. RD was like a hooligan compared to this guy.
McLaren you should keep It as long as possible.
