McLaren Chief Executive Officer Zak Brown expects Formula One to deliver a four-way championship battle this season and would also not be surprised if a rival team mirrors McLaren¡¯s rapid rise to the top.

The team based in Woking, England, was crowned constructors¡¯ champion last season for the first time in 26 years and after coming back from fourth overall in 2023 and fifth in 2022. In 2017 McLaren was ninth.

The 24-race campaign also saw seven different drivers, from four teams, each win at least twice.
