Zak Brown explains the role of an F1 team CEO

McLaren CEO Zak Brown has discussed what the top job at an F1 team involves in an episode of the F1 Explains podcast, recorded in the paddock with Christian Hewgill. He answered listener questions on how much say a CEO has in choosing drivers, and how decisions are made on sponsor branding for the car and team apparel.

Brown also covered who ultimately picks the team's livery, what a typical day away from the circuit looks like, and what he does on the pit wall during race weekend sessions. He explained where the boundaries lie between his role and that of Team Principal Andrea Stella.
