McLaren CEO Zak Brown: McLaren CEO Zak Brown believes Cadillac's entry into Formula One next year will ultimately enhance the sport’s ecosystem rather than dilute its resources, even as the General Motors-backed outfit begins to draw talent and attention away from existing teams.

The much-anticipated arrival of Cadillac—approved in March after a gruelling 764-day entry process—will see Formula One expand to 11 teams for the first time in nearly a decade. Despite initial resistance from F1 and several teams who feared a reduction in their revenue share, Brown maintains the addition will provide net gains, especially with Cadillac’s financial muscle and marketing reach.

“I think of employees, they are definitely going to take a lot more than they give, which is fine,” Brown said during the Hungarian Grand Prix. “My general view is if someone wants to go work for a rival team, then shame on me.”
