The American executive has now revealed the striking comparison he made during his early days with the British racing outfit.\n\nBrown described the McLaren facility as visually stunning, noting it resembled something straight out of Star Wars. However, the atmosphere inside told a different story. He felt the team operated like Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire—cold, distant, and unwelcoming. This stark contrast between the impressive physical space and the team's internal culture immediately caught his attention.\n\nRather than accepting the status quo, Brown decided to implement a fundamental shift in how McLaren operated. He envisioned transforming the organization from the \"dark side\" to something more aligned with Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance—warm, friendly, and open to everyone. This cultural overhaul became a central part of his leadership philosophy.\n\nBrown officially joined McLaren Technology Group on November 21, 2016, stepping into the role after Ron Dennis was forced to depart. The transition marked the beginning of a new era for the historic racing team, one that would eventually yield remarkable results on the track.\n\nThe cultural changes Brown championed proved instrumental in McLaren's resurgence. Under his guidance, the team achieved back-to-back Constructors' Championship victories in Formula 1, claiming the prestigious title in both 2024 and 2025. These consecutive triumphs validated Brown's approach to team management and his belief that a positive, inclusive environment directly contributes to competitive success.\n\nBrown's Star Wars analogy resonated with motorsport fans worldwide, offering a relatable way to understand the transformation McLaren underwent. The shift from a rigid, intimidating atmosphere to one characterized by openness and warmth demonstrated that championship-winning performance extends beyond pure engineering and driving talent.\n\nThe McLaren story under Brown's leadership serves as a compelling case study in organizational culture change within elite sports. By prioritizing people and atmosphere alongside technical development, the team created conditions that allowed talent to flourish and performance to reach new heights.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","McLaren CEO Zak Brown compared the team's atmosphere to Darth Vader when he joined in 2016. He shifted the culture to be warmer and more welcoming, leading to consecutive F1 Constructors' Championships in 2024 and 2025.","327731582188130305","326135624887177216","Championship","0","2026-05-07T06:48:35Z","zak-brown-transformed-mclaren-from-dark-side-culture-to-championship-winning","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Fauto\u002Fnews-6459274-slovno-dart-vejder-braun-ob-atmosfere-v-maklarene-v-nachale-svoej-raboty-v-komande.html","326257570438189056","Rebel",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],"326222707169431552","326257539962376192","326257545754710016","326257554411753472","326257556324356096","326257613643714560","326257766752587776",[57,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Anderlecht","Como","Newcastle","Newcastle Jets","Newells Old Boys","Hassania Agadir","Fortaleza EC","Zak Brown Transformed McLaren from 'Dark Side' Culture to Championship-Winning Team",[76,116,146,178],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":77,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":78,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":79,"slug":80,"sourceName":81,"sourceURL":82,"teamId":83,"teamName":84,"teamIds":85,"teamNames":100,"title":115},"Italy beat Spain 4-2 on penalties after 1-1 draw to set up a U17 European Championship final against Belgium, who eliminated France earlier.","338075747069464577","2026-06-04T19:28:40Z","italy-edge-spain-on-penalties-u17-euro-final-vs-belgium","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FActualites\u002FL-italie-rejoint-la-belgique-en-finale-de-l-euro-des-moins-de-17-ans\u002F1681874#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257661500723200","Italy",[83,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,59],"326222711401484288","326222712936599552","326222767416414208","326255039846813696","326255041625198592","326257536296554496","326257536413995008","326257537865224192","326257539844935680","326257664680005632","326257696636407808","326222711447621632","326222711569256448","326222711653142528",[84,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,67],"Belgium","Paraguay","Lesotho","FK Partizan","Partizani","Auxerre","Paris FC","Estoril","Parma","Estonia","Azzurri","France","Brazil","Spain","Italy Edge Spain on Penalties: U17 Euro Final vs Belgium",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":117,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":118,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":119,"slug":120,"sourceName":121,"sourceURL":122,"teamId":123,"teamName":124,"teamIds":125,"teamNames":135,"title":145},"Italy U17 edged Spain 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, goalkeeper Lupo saving two spot-kicks, to book a U17 Euro final vs Belgium on June 7.
