Formula 1 is “in a very fragile state” as a result of the coronavirus crisis and needs big changes to survive, McLaren boss Zak Brown says. “This is potentially devastating to teams, and if [it is devastating] to enough teams – which doesn’t have to mean more than two – then very threatening to F1 as a whole,” Zak Brown said. But the teams are divided over how best to safeguard the sport. Brown says all teams have now agreed to lower the budget cap to $150m (£122m) in 2021. Zak Brown: “I would say it’s more 80-20.”
