McLaren's success signals end of F1 autocrat era

McLaren's successful season highlights a shift in Formula 1 leadership, with teams adopting split roles instead of a single autocratic figure. This new model, exemplified by the partnership between McLaren CEO Zak Brown and Team Principal Andrea Stella, is proving effective. Other teams are now emulating this approach, decentralizing power. This contrasts with traditional models where one individual held all authority, such as Toto Wolff at Mercedes, who delegates day-to-day management despite overall control.
