The alliance of F1 Giants, McLaren and Mercedes is all set to join hands in the 2021 season yet again. Amid that the expectations have torn the roof but both parties have kept it down verbally. Having said that, their future growth in the sport is something the top-field teams might have to watch out for. And even McLaren’s boss, Zak Brown, acknowledged the statement.
McLaren will be re-uniting with Mercedes after a brief period, and hence, expecting the team to reach glory from the word go would be unfair. Moreover, their rivals, Aston Martin (previously Racing Point), have also gone through massive reconstruction within the team. The same goes with Alpine as well.
