McLaren has recently been like the unseasonal clouds. The ones that promise a lot yet don’t deliver. McLaren has promised a lot in the past decade but hasn’t been able to deliver. Despite the failure to fulfill the promise, Zak Brown recently praised Oscar Piastri. The untimely praise made the fans furious as the statement backfired in Brown’s face. Fans expressed their disagreement and frustration by trolling the CEO and the team. Let’s see how they did it.

McLaren’s start to the 2023 season has been far from ideal. The Papaya team is struggling to even score points, let alone catch the front runners. Zak Brown has already begun a technical reshuffle at McLaren, as he was unsatisfied with the pace of development. And the new wind tunnel is bound to come online by the end of the year. While things may look promising for next year, this year will probably be sacrificed owing to the number of changes being done.

Despite all the negatives, the McLaren CEO looks toward the positives. Brown recently praised Oscar Piastri, mentioning how he will be at the same pace as Lando Norris soon. He explained how the two will push each other harder toward excellence. McLaren has two great drivers if provided with a competitive car can get to the front of the grid. However, things did not go well for the McLaren Boss and this stunt fired right back in his face as fans expressed themselves on F1’s official Twitter post.

According to Formula1.com, Zak Brown said “And I think early indications are that Oscar will be on the same pace as Lando, and the two of them will push each other hard. And that’s what you want out of your two drivers, to know that it’s kind of down to you, as a team, to provide them with a car to get to the front.”

Fans took to Twitter to express their concern regarding McLaren and Zak Brown as the statement blows up in Brown’s face. McLaren’s slow pace was trolled as many suggested how the MCL60 is as slow as a bullock cart. When it came to trolling Zak Brown, fans mentioned how Zak Brown has been acting like a clown and needs to keep his mouth closed. Let’s see how the fans have reacted on Twitter.

Suggesting McLaren’s poor form and Zak Brown’s poor guidance, people called him Fat Brown, and the team Mcdonalds’ racing.

Some trolled McLaren’s pace by expressing how Piastri already matched Norris’ pace by both of them being at the back of the grid. While others suggested that the car is so bad that even a star driver like Norris cannot drive it.

Some believed that the McLaren CEO is saying all of this just because he risked a lot over signing Oscar Piastri pointing toward the Alpine-Piastri saga and firing of Daniel Ricciardo a year earlier.

After McLaren’s introduction of the driver’s program and the appointment of Emanuele Pirro as the head, some suggested Brown is only focused on the IndyCar series and not F1. The drivers of the program have IndyCar background. Whether McLaren is able to step up and provide a competitive car is still unsure.
