Ecclestone: I don't think Zak Brown is very talented.
Former Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone always says what he thinks. This time the one who heard his opinion was McLaren chief Zak Brown, whom Bernie called "not very talented".
Bernie Ecclestone: "Piastri and Norris were lucky to be in the right team at the right time. Of course, there have been drivers who were better than the current ones, but they never had the chance to show their strengths.
Zak Brown does his job very well. I've known him for a long time, and recently I told him: 'I don't consider you very talented, but one of your strong qualities is the ability to pick the right people for the job.' He assembled the right people around him and managed to bring them together. People at McLaren do their jobs well."
