Zak Brown resigns from role as non-executive chairman of Motorsport network

McLaren boss Zak Brown is no longer a non-executive chairman at the Motorsport network. Brown, who announced the news via a tweet from his own account, resigns  just a day after Autosport announced an increase in prices.  

Brown joined the Motorsport network in 2016, the same year as the group purchased the Autosport brand. The Autosport magazine have doubled their prices to £10.99 this week. It was greeted by a wave of backlash from their core fans. 

After careful consideration I have made the decision to resign from the role of non-executive chairman of Motorsport Network. I have had the privilege of watching some of the best people in the business doing what they do so well - bringing this great sport to the fans. 1/2
