Vandoorne not aggressive enough for F1 according to McLaren boss Brown

McLaren CEO Zak Brown says that Stoffel Vandoorne isn't aggressive enough for a seat in F1. The Belgian driver is moving on from F1 after being replaced at the McLaren team by junior driver Lando Norris and will be racing in Formula E with HWA Racelab.

Vandoorne has struggled all season long against teammate Fernando Alonso, a difference in performance that has only served to magnify the underperformances of the Belgian driver.

"Was he too corporate? No, I wouldn't say that," Brown said.

McLaren teammate Alonso weighed in on the situation, believing that Vandoorne was simply unlucky in his timing which resulted in him being cut by the team.

"Stoffel was unlucky to be with McLaren at this time, with the cars he had at his disposal in these two years," Alonso told Belgian broadcaster RTBF.
