      Zak is a liar, he isn’t honest at all! Promising Palou a F1 seat, signing the contract and then he said it was only an Indycar seat…… Signing Piastri behind DR’s back, telling DRhe had the seat in 2023 and even letting DR do a speech at the factory telling the employees that he would be in the seat in 2023…WHILE AT THAT MOMENT PIASTRI WAS ALREADY SIGNED FOR 2023! Zak is full of himself, he lies and cheats on not only Palou but also DR…… He is never open or honest…..

    As a side note; could Jake or Damian share their techniques for a great interview.?
    Having a structure and great guests is obviously important, but to have the fluidity to change tack mid interview is something I’m fascinated about.

      Zak lied to DR, let him do a speech at the factory telling the employees that he would be in the seat in 2023….while Zak already signed Piastri behind his back for that seat. Zak also promised Palou the F1 seat, signed the contract with Palou and then told him it was just for an Indycar seat. Hence why Palou has been furious towards Zak and killed the contract. Zak is a liar and a cheat, in all honesty…. The facts proof that.

    Feels like watching a high level salesman or politician telling exactly what they think you want to hear for 30 minutes. He's a driver collector! I mean he even offered Dan one of his Indy car drivers seats. The same driver he's promising an F1 seat too. He has done some smart moves on the Production car side of things, but the F1 team has suffered another under his leadership.

    So many people tried to make Zak a villain (especially the DTS editing fanboys), and yet he was extremely smart and acted upon a fallacy that most others get hung up on. SUNK COST FALLACY. Daniel Ricciardo's contract was already a sunk cost, and most would've just kept him around because whatever, "it's 1 more season." But reality is, you're wasting your time and that's something you won't get back, so move on, cut him and improve your team and that's what Zak did.

    I really enjoyed the interview, I really admire what Zak has done with McLaren since he took over. I do, however, think he is limiting his success by some of his hard and fast rules. Likewise, I understand what he is trying to achieve with his "spell my name correctly" or that someone has to be "likeable". But this approach limits the type of people and thinking you have in an organization. It slams the door in the face of people who could potentially bring you great success. Therefore, you end up with people like you. And as modern leadership principles and thinking show, you need a diverse (in many ways) group of people fore success. This approach really rubs me up the wrong way, and it's such an old school approach.

      @@MrRadialdrift not all business decisions are good ones, and in the case of Daniel, it didn't pay off.
      But that's not what I mean by financially healthier. They have enough money in the bank now to sustain themselves and not be under financial threats, which wasn't the case a few years ago. Zak has talked about how dire the situation got, especially towards 2020, and he did a great job to shield the racing team from this aspect, to make sure that they keep working instead of worrying about their future. This financial stability also allows them to work on their facilities and resources, which have been falling behind compared to the frontrunners. Their windtunnel should be ready in the middle of 2023, which would help development.
      Their results are disappointing, sure. But there's a lot going on behind the scenes that must be taken care of for things to go smoothly, and Zak is doing a good job of addressing the issues that they're facing.
