Zak Brown took umbrage with what he felt were some unfair accusations regarding the McLaren-Daniel Ricciardo saga. F1
After a second troublesome season for Ricciardo in McLaren colours, the decision was taken to terminate his contract a year before it expired by mutual consent, with Oscar Piastri named as his successor.
Brown knows that a thick skin is needed in sport, but with the difficult decision to let Ricciardo go registering with him on a “personal” level, comments which he felt were made without full possession of the facts did serve to penetrate that armour somewhat., Brown said: “It’s been a very tough year, and it’s personal, business is personal, specifically Daniel, who’s been tremendous to work with and gave us our first win [in Brown’s tenure, at Monza].
“And you just need to be grounded in I know what really happened, I know the relationship that I really have with Daniel and his management and how transparent it was and how collaborative it was. “I think in today’s day and age, unfortunately, I think we’re seeing a lot of people that overstep what’s an appropriate comment, but that’s the world we live in. And I think as long as those that are close to us know what really happened, you just kind of roll with the punches.”
