What a collection Zak has, and what a pleasure it was to be given the tour! Which car is your favourite? 😍

[@aspalovin]

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

[@sab7786]

Mika's car 😍

[@HighLiner15]

The repsol FORD cossi RS has been my #1 since 1993

[@AMMO_x]

Thanks for the awesome video! Learning more about race history is just lovely!

[@LogiForce86]

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.

[@Cazamalos]

The world needs a conversation between Zak and Seb talking about f1 history.

[@fawnwolf9195]

@@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.

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.

[@rumblefish9]

As good as Zak is, Mclaren losing Adrian Newey is their biggest loss. They haven't been the same since.

[@The_Curious_Cat]

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.

[@UrNewStepdad91]

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

Glad you enjoyed 🙌

[@sebulbathx]

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.

[@aizatms]

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!
