\u201cI think it was awesome to see all of them there, but to see Lewis and Fernando show up to show their support of McLaren is awesome.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey’re busy guys, and wearing other team shirts, so certainly it was nothing that they had to do \u2013 it was something they wanted to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m very appreciative of everyone that was there, but Lewis and Fernando, I appreciate their teams allowing them to come and support a McLaren event.\u201d<\/p>\n
Indeed, there were times in the past when the prospect of Ferrari co-operating with McLaren was unlikely to say the least, such was the level of rivalry between the teams and their respective managements.<\/p>\n
Brown sees the presence of Hamilton and Alonso as a sign of a new spirit of co-operation \u2013 teams can fight hard on track and yet still work together for the greater good.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that’s what we need to do more of in the sport, is be at times maybe a little bit more sporting, and recognise the history,\u201d he said. \u201cSo that was really cool. I appreciate all the coverage it got.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, McLaren still have their eyes firmly fixed on both the present and the future, also using the 1000th race weekend to showcase their brand-new hospitality base.<\/p>\n
Getting the impressive facility set up for the first time in the tight confines of the Monaco paddock was no easy task.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur new team hub,\u201d said Brown. \u201cCongratulations to our team for putting this together, making it a better working environment for everyone. I\u2019m just very happy with where the sport has been, and where it’s going \u2013 and it\u2019s a privilege to be part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI think it was awesome to see all of them there, but to see Lewis and Fernando show…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-479328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
