The Australian GP is already making its claim to become one of the most exciting races of the season. The sheer chaos during the race hurt a lot of teams but for a struggling McLaren it was a blessing in disguise. McLaren’s both drivers finished in points despite a poor qualifying result opening the account for the team in 2023. The CEO Zak Brown got a little carried away in all the excitement of the race result and made a few challenges to the bosses of the front running teams Christian Horner and Toto Wolff.
An elated Brown put out two challenges individual to Horner and Wolff while speaking to Sky as quoted by Sun. The first went out to the Red Bull boss for a race. However, for Toto Wolff, the CEO made him a challenge that would make the $240 million Las Vegas GP an even bigger spectacle.

We are not sure if the Mercedes boss will take Brown up on his challenge. However, if he does, it will add to an already exciting and thrilling Vegas GP weekend.
