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.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown remains fixed on his team's free-to-race philosophy even after the ongoings at the late stages of the Canadian Grand Prix.
Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris qualified P2 and P3 respectively for the British GP, behind Max Verstappen on pole, who earned the compliments of the American CEO.
However, Brown is not all too concerned with the qualifying results seeing as both of his drivers are in the top 3 after all."We knew that qualifying was going to be absolute full throttle," he said to F1TV.

Both McLaren drivers are currently locked in a very tight title battle, which gets even closer when they fight each other on track as Canada and the last Austria near-miss incident between the two.
However, Brown is unfazed by this and when asked what the F1 community could and should expect from their drivers tomorrow as they both look to further increase their championship-winning chances by overcoming the other, he said: "Elbows out!" Meaning both drivers would go out and try to win the race at all costs, within the parameters of fair racing, of course.
