Zak Brown: McLaren boss on F1 going green & Monaco preview

Author: 30-40 / Acast May 25, 2023 Duration: 32:24

Betty and Christian are off to McLaren HQ for a chat with CEO Zak Brown. With so many listeners getting in touch with questions about how F1 could be more environmentally friendly and McLaren launching a sustainability report, it felt as good a time as any to find out if the sport can really go green.


Of course there's also room for a tour of the McLaren site (including a look at one at where they actually build F1 cars) and the team finding out if Lando Norris has to let the boss win when they play golf.


And to top off the episode, Greg joins Betty and Christian for a debrief as well as a look ahead to Monaco a a HUGE co-host announcement.
