The Race F1 Podcast · Verstappen + Antonelli? Our take on F1's next big driver moves · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah, and you say, let's do a deal.

Who's the best dealmaker in this paddock?

It will be Zac Brown in my mind.

And from his point of view, if we see it from his point of view, he's got two drivers who are quite equal in speed.

They go about it a different way.

One of them is a world champion.

The other, they've had some issues seemingly with management and they had to force some things through there.

Last year was a bit bruising.

But he's not running just an F1 team.

Can you imagine what his sponsor dollars will mean with Verstappen on board when he says, oh, and by the way, we're bringing an extra car to Daytona and Le Mans.

Oh, and by the way, I have a team racing at Mount Panorama in Bathurst.

Max, you want to do different things?

I've got GT3s.

I've got a hypercar.

I've got it all for you.

Let's build something really big together.

and orange and papaya are not so far apart he's a marketing guy he will have made at this point he's made the calculation and he'll be talking to the Bahrainis and see okay what will we need to get Verstappen on board if he wants to do it he will never say it publicly because he can't kick out Piastri before the deed is done because I feel it would be Piastri would be on the chopping board but

it just makes, from a marketing point of view, so much sense.

And if you then have Rob Marshall and you've got Lambiasa and you've got Verstappen there together, then you also bring what Zac Brown has tried to bring to this team all the time.

It's like a technical direction, people working in unison in one way or another to make sure that they get on top of Mercedes because that's what Zac is realizing right now.
