What a collection Zak has, and what a pleasure it was to be given the tour! Which car is your favourite? 😍
Ayrton and Mika's cars are my favorites. Senna will always be my favorite driver. I Saw him and (place other legends names here) race in Detroit 3 times
Mika's car 😍
The repsol FORD cossi RS has been my #1 since 1993
Thanks for the awesome video! Learning more about race history is just lovely!
Out of all the cars it's probably Senna his kart. For two reasons.
1. It's a true open wheeler without side protection to protect the wheels. Thus you had to learn to be respectful to other drivers and learn to guage the width of your kart and position on track. Not to forget that you learn the horrible consequences of mistakes real fast, and having that engraved at that early age is important. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.
2. It's as barebones as a kart can get, and in this Colin Champman-esque light kart Senna displayed his incredible talent for the first time.
The world needs a conversation between Zak and Seb talking about f1 history.
Agreed
Yes make it happen
The world isn't ready for that...one day
It'd be longer than youtubes upload limit lol
Really good idea actually.
The biggest American F1 fan on the planet. Great guy!
He truly was amazing to be around. Thanks for tuning in
As an American, I can agree. 89% of Americans seem like they don’t know what F1 is.
@@KiddinaSweetShop What a collection, thanks for showing us. Great to see Mclaren is being taken care of by an enthusiast rather than a wall street type. Bruce Mclaren is a hero here in New Zealand, it would be great to see something iconically NZ on a new car. The Mclaren logo is great but the style makes it differcult for some to see the Kiwi connection.
@Curly Cat It truly seems your ignorance is showing. Less intelligent people like yourself seem to forget how large America is compared to most countries. America has 11 states larger than all of the UK.
@@STONEAJE What makes you think Curly Cat forgot the size of America? He mentioned ignorance and misplaced self importance, but nothing about size.
Wow, He is just like Leno in the sense that he actually knows the history of basically every car he's ever owned. Mad respect. Also, I got goosebumps seeing him standing next to Ayrton Senna's cart.
Thankfully that’s where the comparisons end. Zak doesn’t come off as an asshole.
@@Irock2412 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Irock2412 you saying Leno is?
Me too, l got emotional
As a Brazilian, it really warms up my heart to see how Senna is loved and recognized worldwidely
He was the best, in the UK we love him.
Always has, always will be. Greetings from Greece.
The greatest.
Verdade hein, como é respeitado o Senna…
Greatest racing driver of all time. Peace from Australia (Australian born Italian)
Zack is a true petrolhead! The collection is so mixed but so perfect! Such a great history on each car
Couldn't agree more! Such a variety of cars!
Does anybody know Zak Brown’s background and why/how he ended up running McLaren?
*Gearhead, he is American after all!
The more I see of Zak the more I like him. When he first arrived at McLaren I was very skeptical but he's taken the team from strength to strength. Loved the recent race he drove against Lando and Danny during the Sky F1 coverage. He comes across as a very geniune guy. What a great collection and thank you Jodie for sharing it with us.
Totally agree with everything 👍 Mclaren is definitely in good hands with Zak
He loves sthe sport and is competent at the same time. Can't get better than this
I think the success is more connected with Andreas Seidl.
@@silentzero7 True, but who hired him?
This. I was skeptical of his zeal, but he's obviously a real fan.
Zac! Bad news! Well it's a good one either: Daniel is on the way to drive Dale's car! Congrats for the 1-2 in Monza! 😁
I'm pretty sure Zak is excited about maybe getting to drive it too. He was saying he hasn't had the chance to drive it yet, and he was hoping Daniel would do it by the US Grand Prix.
I'm pretty sure Daniel is gonna be tearing up a little bit when he drives Dale's car. Daniel's a huge Nascar and Dale fan, for sure we'll see like back in the days where Hamilton drove Senna's car. Is just emotional.
I have to admit, I was dubious of an American becoming CEO of McLaren, having see this video, I'm sure Bruce McLaren is looking down with a smile on his face, top man Zak, just who the team needed.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Zak has brought something truly special to McLaren, he is a good leader.
Really? I’m not so sure Bruce would be as enamoured as you say.
So much better than Supercar Blondie, not only can Jodie drive but she also knows about cars……
Hope this channel goes from strength to strength…..
supercar blondie is too annoying
I don't like her either but what's the point of bringing her up here? Instead of enjoying this video, what's the point souring the mood by thinking of that?
amen!
czcams.com/video/vG_83iPxpjA/video.html
I can't stand supercar blondie and dont thnk we should even compare he to others
Wow what an episode! Never realised Mr Brown was such an enthusiastic collector and true aficionado of motorsport. Love love love this.
Thank you! ☺️
This came to light to me when Danny Ric said he had a bet with Zak that if he gets a podium, Zak will let him drive Dale Earnhardt's NASCAR
He’s been collecting for a while and it is impressive and holds its overall value
The fact that as an adult he actually managed to locate and buy THE car that got him into racing as little kid is amazing
Amazing is that people can spend that insane amounts of money on this kind of shit. And I'm saying this as a life F1 fan + I'm not a really young guy.
@@jarek3573 I think he's got some money to throw around
@@destroyer28100 Yeee, maybe depends on where you occasionally land during a long vacation trip. If he goes through Darfur, I'm 100% that he would feel bad every time he would look at those cars. He is a nice guy as far as I know.
Ayrton we never will forget, the very best ever !!!
@@jarek3573 so you disapprove?
The more I see of Zak the more of a top guy I think he is. He’s such a great addition to Mclaren and F1
Senna's go cart~ pure driving pure raceing no politics.
Pure as it gets!
Amazing to see that. Doesn't mention Lewis though. Senna my hero ❤️❤️thank you Jodie and I've been to your lovely pub
Her fingerprints are on every single car 👍
Zac deserves a future F1 championship, with the effort, passion and professionalism he has personally put into McLaren.
As good as Zak is, Mclaren losing Adrian Newey is their biggest loss. They haven't been the same since.
I'm loving Zak as CEO of my favorite F1 team, ever since he took charge the team has been on a rise and the spirit is completely different, more relaxed, fun and enjoyable, but still professional and set on realistic goals. Plus he seems to be a humble guy that is a real petrol head in love for the Mclaren brand.
I could listen to zak talking about his cars for hours i would love to know more about his collection
I just hope they see this comment and make this a whole hour and a half full in-depth tour, I wanna know all about them!
I never knew he was this passionate about the entire McLaren brand! Really interesting video :)
He’s the most cool CEO, love his relationship with lando and entire mclaren f1 team
This man lives and breaths motorsport. Perfect man to be leading McLaren.
As a racing fan, I always marvel at people that know the details of the cars, the drivers and the races the cars won. I know of the cars, but the details of it's history always escapes me
My favorite car would be any sports car that raced in LeMans, Sebring, Daytona and any of those type of races.
I'm the exact same honestly, it's always an amazing experience watching somebody recap details like that so casually
so much respect for Zac, he actually knows racing and is passionate about it, he's no just some suit and tie ceo whos in it for the money and not the racing, honestly wouldn't want anyone else as ceo of McLaren
I'm honoured as an Australian to see a V8 Supercar among his collection
Mate, made me grin from ear to ear. Proud
Me too 😊
My favorite cars in Zak's collection: Ayrton's 1991 McLaren and Emmo Fitipaldi's 1989 Indycar that won the Indy500
I have an easy favourite. Wolf WR1
Andretti’s Lotus for me
In my mind the McLaren-Honda MP4/6 from 1991 is the sexiest F1-Car there ever was...
@@markuseggstein8349 Tied only to the monster that was the Penske PC-22 that senna almost drove on Indycar if he had left in 93/94
I remember when Zak was absolutely hated by r/foruma1 and pretty much all of social media after he replaced Ron Dennis. Now everyone loves him.
I hated Ron Dennis so was glad Zak came in.
I did not expect Zak to have a Holden, as a Kiwi it really makes me proud our little v8 racers have made such a name for themselves internationally. Such a beautiful car, and the fact Zak said he enjoys driving it makes me happy.
Zak is so humble, the man is an inspiration and a legend in his own right
Omg how could you not touch and caress the lines of these cars! Such amazing pieces of art. Love the Escort Cosworth. Can’t believe he owns a car he can’t drive. Zak comes across as such a nice person.
You need help
He is a lovely person and what a mind blowing group of cars!
God loves you!
Never knew he was so passionate about cars and motorsport history, let alone actually drove and won a race!
Fantastic video!
Thanks for watching
Now Daniel is going to turn up with a new car in the next race. Since the current one won in Monza, it naturally is now part of Zack's collection 😉
I think even Zak would consider letting Daniel keep that one, should he want it.
@@LordPodlington the bet was just about drive.
Out of all the cars he has, the Sainz Cossie is by far my favorite. I've always loved older Cossies, and the fact it's orange and white is another plus for me.
Such a spectacular car!
I'm so glad this got recommended to me
So am I :)
The nicest man in racing, what a legend. Downright encyclopedic knowdledge, I could listen to Zak talk all day!
So could I! Fascinating
zak seems like such a nice guy and has the biggest passion for motorsport. love the great work hes doing at mclaren and hope it continues for a good while
Danni Ric now gets to drive Dale Earnhardt's car @ 14:22
Wow! Mind blowing
Thank you so much 😀
I just love that United Autosports is based in Wakefield (the forgotten home of motorsport). Maybe after the video Zak took Jodie in to Wakey for a Greggs butty?
Zak has to be one of the coolest and humblest guys around-WOW what a collection !
Nevemind very well off
This gives me a much bigger appreciation for Zak Brown! I didn't know he was this bigger car enthusiast! McLearn is in great hands. 💯🏁
A car enthusiast as CEO ensures that the brand will keep it's soul. Or at least increases the likelihood!
So awesome to see he has an Australian Supercar in his collection!
It was so cool to see it!
Zak has such a beautiful car collection and is such a passionate racer. I saw him win that Ferrari Challenge race in Montreal in 2008 and I also saw him make his Formula Atlantic debut at New Hampshire International Speedway all the way back in 1993.
I really give props to Zak for getting Mclaren out of their downward trend in recent years. Tbh I didn't think they would be this far this early they've have made really big steps in short time and I think they will improve even further to fight for wins on pace on some tracks. He really is a motorsports fan and not just a business man. I think most or all people in F1 like F1 but not everyone is a fan. Also he is not british which is somewhat refreshing. Sounds a little weird watching this video hearing an american accent talk about F1 since I'm so used to hear a british accent in the context of F1.
holy hell ive never been so mesmerized by a collection of cars before all of these cars are amazing and the history behind every single one i cant even pick a favourite, thank you jodie for making this video it has made my week!
Jodie please do more F1 related videos like this, we want more :) Quality production!
We can arrange that for sure :)
zak is probably the most likeable team boss from all of them.
Now that you mention it, I think I have to agree!
I've got a real soft spot for Gunther.
@@theonlyegg +1
Zac Brown is a proper, certified rev head nut (and bloody rich!). The broad collection was impressive.
What a fantastic piece of film, Senna’s cart gave me goosebumps.
I had no idea about the Wheel of Fortune thing or that he had a collection, but, the second I saw this I knew he had to have something from Dale Sr. What an amazing car to have and I'm sure Daniel's smile will be bigger than ever when he gets to drive it.
Never ending collection and Dale's car is a special one to own that's for sure!
Daniel Ricciardo said he picked #3 because he was a huge Dale Earnhardt fan. Great collection of racing history!
Isn't it just! Thanks for watching
I'm stunned.. I could watch you both go through the entire collection.. I didn't think it was possible but I have even more respect for Zak after seeing this video. Thanks Jodie!
It's so awesome to see two people with passion for motorsport just talking it out.
He knows what he talk.
He have money to bougth and get this colection and he have proud to keep them .
Great CEO and colector of cars.
Great stuff and congrats on getting this interview! Hope to see more. Love to see Zak in his element like this... I like the dude more every time I see him in an interview. He's so down to earth even with *that* collection... nevermind his day job.
Such a lovely man and what a treat to see the full collection!
@Satanic Panic Fun and Games Rude!
Wow. Such a pleasure to watch two people who love the sport so much talk us through the garage.
Zak is the best thing that happened to McLaren the last 10 years.
What a lovely chap he is, really grown on me this season too.
Wow, how did you manage that?? Zak Brown seems like a really down to earth and humble dude.. Would love to have a beer or several with him, mad respect to what he has accomplished
I LOVE Formula 1, I LOVE Indycar, but I'm a proud son of North Carolina and seeing that Dale Earnhardt NASCAR took my breath away. I love that it's being held as an incentive for Daniel to get a podium.
Wow, I knew he had a great collection, thank you so much for showing us all! And really happy you respond to comments. Great interview as well you really have a knack for it
Great collection, its really nice he has a connection whether its personal or commercial to cars.
I really hope Daniel ricciardo podiums so he can drive Dale Earnhardt's old car
We hope to witness this when he does!
@@KiddinaSweetShop do it 4 dale
By the end of the year he's more than capable of top 5 finishes or even podiums
This aged well, with his win at the Temple of Speed today!
@@AGKaiju to be honest he could fall off a cliff in terms of race results I just want to see him drive dale's car
What a video! Thanks for this Jodie and thanks to Zak also for helping make this video and for being such a fan! It's always so great to see a true fan of the sport in an influential position in the sport! 👏👏👏
Great Interview, Zak comes across as a 100% genuine petrol head.
Amazing to see 2 people who are insanely passionate about motor sport talking in such a way . Zak is a welcome addition to the F1 pit lane seeing a man with encylopedic knowledge about drivers / cars and races . Loved the videos of the tours round Mclarens HQ too . What a top / humble guy he is . Great video !!
Glad you enjoyed 🙌
I didn't realise Brown was so wealthy, glad to see he's using his wealth wisely. Spectacular collection of cars.
Does he have an ownership stake in McLaren? It doesn't look like he needs to work for a salary.
I think he was about to talk about how it all started (winning Wheel of Fortune and selling the prizes??) but he was interupted and the moment passed - I know from other interviews that he got there by hard work and tenacity but would love to know the full story, he's a prime example of work hard, play hard.
There needs to be a part 2 video for this man's stunning collection. I loved watching this one!
Good conversation that, and Zak is always so friendly and passionate about what he does, good one.
Looking forward to many more sweet shops. This was great . Well done Jodie.
More to come! Thanks for watching :)
Wow Jodie, best episode yet! Would love to have you involved in the F1 TV coverage, your passion really shines through!
Had a hard week and this was just what I needed after this day to make it a bit better . Formula video + listening to the music I like (Delta Parole, Metallica and other) make me feel the speed and excitement!
What a great video, two genuine people who clearly share the same passion as everyone watching this video 🤌
What an amazing collection this great guy has! Hats off Zak!
I love the Marlboro livery. It’s stunning in person.
Oh, what I would give to be able to just even spend a day looking around there and sitting in the cars. Lovely video, thanks so much for the footage and thanks to Zak for allowing you in to look around.
Zac’s the kind of guy I like. Exceeding all my expectations from when he first joined McLaren. Props.
When Zak says "every car in my collection", (might just be me lols) but he is sounding rather "british" bit by bit haha. Sweet video!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Lol. You’re right! Every now and then the accent slips in.
Amazing he was able to get senna and hakinnins karts
Incredible really!
I was at the 2008 Canadian GP. Pretty cool to learn all these years later I got to see the future McLaren boss win a race.
Amazing collection, that MP4 is truly the holy grail of F1 cars to own.
This video should have lasted 1h, amazing collection!
It could have easily lasted an hour! :)
WOW, just WOW. Imagine having access to all those history making cars. I could just sit in them and make brmmmmmmm brmmmmmm noises and be like a kid in a sweet shop.
I’m originally and indycar fan. After getting into F1 the past couple years I’ve become a mclaren fan because of Zak. I love his personal ties to each series but also how he is bridging the two series. This is a man who lives and breathes Motorsport.
I’d love to see that collection in more detail... I seen a couple of VERY iconic Australian race cars that are so rare to see today and Zak has a few of them!!!
Amazing collection! Zak is a cool dude, and great CEO of McLaren racing.
Amazing place, and wonderful collection!!! Perfect walking around!!! BIG RESPECT ZAK FROM UKRAINE!!!
Welcome to the channel :)
I am beyond speechless. Zak is beyond passionate. I almost shed a tear just looking at some cars on a screen. Imagine how overwhelmed I'd be in person
Don't watch F1 anymore, but got to say Zak seems like a nice guy. What a collection, and good video Jodie.
Always love seeing a Senna car with the Hugo Boss sponsorship under his name.
Senna BOSS.
Apt.
Great to see iconic cars kept in working order. Only improvement would have been to leave Little Al's tire marks on the side of Emmo's 89 Indy car... Thanks for the passion!
Williams did that with one of Damon Hills cars in their museum - it was Schumacher's tyre mark (from Adelaide maybe?) ... and one day a new entusiastic cleaner thought it was a dirt mark and cleaned it off!
MP4-16 is the sexiest McLaren they ever launched I feel. Beautiful lines, great livery, elegant style nose cone! Newey’s finest work.
I love how much Zak knows about motorsport. true passion
I might be biased because it was the era I grew up with , but the very late 80's,early 90's cars were best looking cars ever built. F1 , Indycar , group c sportscars all looked amazing .
Jodie, Zak's collection is off the clock the video is awesome, well done, hope you get to drive some of them! Lots of love Warren
Just imagine that! Thanks for watching :)
I can smell the history from sunny Nottingham.I'm feeling a huge amount of envy right now.Zak seems to be a real racer,so Mclaren looks to be in good hands.Great content Lady Kidd.Thank you.
Fantastic. What a collection and what a guy! He's doing wonders at McLaren. Really enjoying the channel Jodie!
Lucky you Jodi to see McLarens greatest cars but as a teenager, I met both Nigel Mansell and Aryton Senna here in Adelaide. so we both win.
What a lovely and nice guy Zak is
Zak is definitely a living legend, not just how he preserves the cars, but he can tell you the history of each car. What a great video we have and we are excited to see Danny having a try on those beasts.
Wow! What an incredible collection, just shows Zac truly has an admiration & love of cars.
Absolutely!
