A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Christian Horner and Zak Brown both joined the press conference for this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix. After the first free practice, in which Lando Norris was fastest, Horner and Brown were asked what they admire about each other in Formula 1. The McLaren CEO took the initiative.
Brown and Horner compliment each other
Brown was first to pick up the question and began by complimenting Horner's management of the team. "I'll go first. I mean, obviously the results Red Bull have put up—what has it been now, 20 years? They’re pretty awesome, right? And we're in the results-oriented business. They've won a lot of races, a lot of championships—pretty awesome," the American told the Woking-based team.
Horner also complimented Brown. "I think there always has to be respect, and you have to respect competitors' performances. I think McLaren obviously turned their season around last year. They did a very good job. They've built on that and they look like the car to beat this year. So credit where credit is due.
"Everybody operates in different ways. Every team has a different style—style of management, style of going racing. That's part of the appeal and attraction of Formula One. You get fans that follow their teams and their drivers accordingly. But I always think that it's important to have respect where respect is due," concluded the team boss and CEO of the Austrian formation.
