Brown compares IndyCar: 'Formula 1 should adopt that too'

McLaren has had an excellent Formula 1 season so far. Where Daniel Ricciardo is still looking for his ideal form, Lando Norris already scored many points this season. Zak Brown can therefore be satisfied with the team.

The McLaren CEO is in the privileged position of having cars running in both Formula 1 and IndyCar. In America this season, Patricio O'Ward captured his first IndyCar victory in Texas. Brown is an excellent comparator of the two motor sports and thinks that Formula 1 and IndyCar can learn a lot from each other in the future.

Brown argues that the thrills in Formula One tend to be greater. " If you look at the Formula One broadcasts from Sky and see how they tell the story using data - quite frankly an IndyCar race is often more spectacular - and then if you see how Formula One can show that a Formula One weekend is also very exciting," Brown stated in conversation with Motorsport.com.

Conversely, Brown thinks Formula One would be wise to take a look at IndyCar as well. "At the same time, there are things like a helmet camera in the IndyCar, which is really fantastic and which Formula 1 should adopt as well. So I'm in the privileged position of seeing both and I think both sides should learn from each other."
