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.
