Max Verstappen's dominance isn't damaging Formula 1 says McLaren CEO Zak Brown

Verstappen completed a clean sweep last time out in Austria, topping practice, qualifying, sprint qualifying, the sprint race and feature race.

That made it seven wins from nine for the reigning world champion, who appears to be cantering towards a third world title.

The complete dominance comes two seasons on from an epic title battle between Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, and some are fearing another period of uncompetitive Formula 1.

Brown is not one of them, though, as he explained at a new livery reveal with Google Chrome, boosting the team's brand even further.

"I'm not seeing any slowdown in the commercial interest of Formula 1, definitely not at McLaren," he told the media.

"But even if I look around at Haas' announcements and the other sponsor announcements I think the sport is going from strength to strength.

"I think that while Max is dominating, the balance of the racing is pretty awesome.

"It takes 20 cars to put on an exciting race and while the excitement of who's going to win might not be where we all want it to be, I think the balance of the racing is quite exciting."

Brown was also keen to stress that it's not Red Bull dominance, but Verstappen dominance.

He continued: "I think it'll be just a matter of time until some teams catch up and it's really just Max's car, right?

"If you took Sergio out - who's, winning races - he kind of puts everyone back in the mix. So it's a bit of a Max special at the moment."
