F1: ‘I think in 2 years we should be fighting at the front’ – Zak Brown

Zak Brown has put a time frame on when he thinks McLaren and other teams will be fighting at the front of the Formula 1 field, with the cost cap bringing things closer together.

He was asked in a recent interview for the McLaren YouTube channel for his thoughts on the topic, to which he said:

“I think probably another two years.

“Even though we’re all kind of on the same money now spend [wise], some teams have bigger infrastructures.

“We’re still waiting for our wind tunnel which is down the road to be done, which will be done here shortly, and new simulation [equipment].

“So even though everyone’s kind of on an equal playing field at most teams from an annual expenditure standpoint, a handful of the teams have come in with a better technology infrastructure, which we’re catching up on and some other teams are, so I think that will need to happen.”
