Zak Brown on Life, Leadership and Formula 1

About the show

McLaren Racing won its first Formula 1 championship in 26 years under the leadership of Zak Brown as CEO. A former professional racer, Zak has been instrumental in transforming both the team’s culture and the wider business, enabling McLaren Racing to secure the 2024 Constructors’ Championship by a margin of just seven-tenths of a second in an epic on-track showdown at the Abu Dhabi GP season-finisher.

Join Zak live in conversation as he reflects on how success is measured in fractions - and earned through vision, resilience, precision and collaboration. From the driver’s seat to the boardroom, from founding JMI, the world’s most successful motorsport marketing agency, to rebuilding one of Formula1’s most iconic teams.

Drawing from his new book Seven Tenths of a Second, this is a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to compete at the pinnacle of motorsport. Expect insight from the pit wall, lessons in leading underpressure, and the principles he’s applied to build high-performance teams - on and off the track.

For Formula 1 fans, business minds, and anyone curious about the mindset behind elite sport performance, this is a rare chance to hear directly from one of the sport’s most influential figures.

Every ticket includes a copy of Seven Tenths of a Second (RRP £22).
