No off weekend for true racer Zak Brown

While the Formula 1 paddock takes a brief breath between Grand Prix weekends, McLaren CEO Zak Brown is doing what he does best: keeping his competitive juices firmly flowing at full throttle.

Rather than kicking back and relaxing, the American motorsport mogul spent his weekend trackside at the iconic Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, reuniting with his United Autosports co-owner and partner Richard Dean for the Imola Classic.

And true to form, they didn't just turn up to make up the numbers – they walked away with two P3 podium finishes on Saturday alone.

Their double-podium success began with a storming drive in Group C behind the wheel of Brown’s legendary Jaguar XJR-8, bringing pure vintage thunder back to the hills of Emilia-Romagna.

Shortly after, they traded raw Group C muscle for Italian flair, securing their second third-place trophy of the day in an ERL2 Ferrari 430.

Two races, two podiums, and endless passion for the sport. For Zak Brown, racing isn't just a boardroom strateg – it’s a lifelong obsession.
