Bahrain buys McLaren, Brown stays as boss
"Full ownership of the share capital of the Group"
Zak Brown will continue to lead the McLaren team as it is 100 percent acquired by Bahrain’s state wealth fund Muntalakat.
In a statement, the McLaren Group - taking in not only the famous Woking based Formula 1 team but its road car and other businesses - confirmed that Bahrain now has "full ownership of the share capital of the Group".
