McLaren CEO Zak Brown has remarked that he wishes to “punch in the nose” people who suggest that the team has secured the Formula 1 Constructors’ title in 2024. The Woking-based squad is on course to end a Constructors’ Championship drought dating back to 1998 as it has a 36-point lead over Ferrari with three rounds to go.

Lando Norris insists Max Verstappen would not have won this year’s Formula 1 world championship if he was driving a McLaren. Norris saw his title hopes disintegrate at the last race in Brazil when Verstappen produced one of his best-ever drives to claim victory from 17th on the grid in wet conditions.

Team CEO Zak Brown says a ‘36-point lead can evaporate in one race weekend’ when Ferrari and Red Bull are in the hunt with 3 races to go.

The Red Bull racer could clinch the Formula 1 world championship Saturday night and join the elite club of four-time champions, alongside only Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Alain Prost and Juan Manuel Fangio.
