“Definition of Delusional”: Zak Brown Gets Brutally Trolled by F1 Twitter After PR-Like Comments Underplaying McLaren’s Downfall

Zak Brown challenged Toto Wolff to a boxing match in Las Vegas after the Australian GP. Nevertheless, it looks like the McLaren TP would be needing those boxing gloves a little earlier to fend off the trolls made by the Papaya Army. As Brown makes delusional PR-like comments to save McLaren’s face amid the critical downfall, Fans take to Twitter to troll the struggling Team Principal. What did the fans say though?

Nobody expected McLaren to fall on its face after the moderate highs of the 2021 season. However, after failing to secure 4th in the championship last year, Zak Brown and Co. fell right to the bottom of the grid this year. McLaren arguably has the slowest car this year with the P5 in the constructors coming down to the mayhem in Australia. Zak Brown has initiated a restructuring in an attempt to regain some ground. 

McLaren also has been using an age-old wind tunnel with a new one coming online very soon. Despite the poor performances, Zak Brown defies to accept the fact that McLaren is having a bad season. He explained how the situation is not as bad as it looks. However, he added that this isn’t where the team wants to be. He then analyzed the races to support his point of the start being okayish. 

According to formu1a.uno, Zak Brown said, “Well, it’s a bit early. Yeah, as I explained, it’s not as bad as it looks, but it’s not as good as it should be.” Talking about the pace not being bad he added, “And Baku, we were much improved, and Australia was decent. So yeah, we’re not where we want to be, but it’s not been as bad as maybe people are quick to report after you have one bad race.”

Fans react to Zak Brown’s “not as bad as it looks” comment

Fans took to Twitter to bash the McLaren TP as he downplayed the downfall of the team. Many suggested that Zak Brown is being delusional as it is clearly visible that the Papaya team is struggling from head to toe. Others wanted Brown to step down or for Mclaren to fire him as the team has successfully managed to become a backmarker. Here’s how the fans reacted on Twitter. 

Some highlighted how all Zak Brown has done is sign sponsors and make the MCL60 a huge moving billboard. Others suggested that Brown is just making excuses explaining how the team managed to make competitive cars using this same old win tunnel.

Many highlighted how Mclaren was challenging for podiums in 2021 and are now merely happy fighting for point finishes. A team who has previously won a title performing this way is shameful
