Everything is going on. McLaren He is the great favorite in the title and to achieve the first success of the F1 2025 season this weekend in the first race of the year, to Australia GP. Despite being a different track, with a completely opposite climate and the possibility of raining for the week, the rhythm of the racing orange showed in the preseason tests has made all the F1 analysts placed Lando Norris as a favorite at all, waiting for how the remaining rival cars during the course are changing. Mostly forgotten Oscar Piastri .
Oscar He showed 22 years of a large degree, putting in a tight a Landau With more experience and leaving flashes of massive quality, especially in Baku, with amazing -a wonderful success for the display of attack and defense. He showed that his future ribbon could be higher than his partner, but he was too uneven -equal in class, something that tied him many times in the career.
Today, PiastriIn his third season at F1 and McLaren, he wanted to take the final step. He knew he could have a car champion and wanted to take advantage of it. Therefore, at a press conference he did not hide. He did not pass the hot potato to his partner Lando. He said to leave “From the beginning” With him and with “The clear thing” As for the policies of the equipment, the known ‘Papaya rules’. He remembered that he should be prepared to fight.
“The two (he and Norris) start from the beginning and the fastest on the track will be the winner or end above if he doesn’t end up winning. We have clear things before starting the period. We will compete against each other and we hope to fight for successes. Everything is clear, we have talked a lot since last season, especially how we managed the end of the last campaign. Nowadays we will start from the beginning and we will give everything to win ”He argued about internal policies between woking team partners.
Then a journalist reminded him of the Australia-England Duel in November in cricket and compared him to his rivalry with English Norris. Who has many options? Piastri replied: “I want to say that both … but it will not be a party or compete against English. The trophy will remain in Australia. I have confidence in my skills as a pilot and what I can do. Last year I presented myself for a good part of the season of what I could.
“I have won a lot of confidence from the successes and some of the best races of the year is what I will always try to do now. Obviously Lando will always be talented and will always be difficult of the Norris season”.
“There are so many things you don’t really know how it is edited. I have confidence in what I can do and we start the season from zero both pilots. We will try to fight that title, or so I hope. I have confidence in what I can do and I know what I need to improve from my time. We worked hard to improve it and have a good year.
No Australia wins Australia
“I know what you want me to tell you, to give you that headline, but we’ll see. No one knows what to expect. The trials went well, but you don’t know the grill -followed. We enjoy our preseason trial but Melbourne is a completely different track from Bahrain and the time will change and we will change from one hour to one time. Let’s wait until Sunday to see it.
A McLaren cycle as a dominator?
I do not believe. That would be perfect, having a level of success and competitiveness, that’s what any team and pilot want. But at that time of regulations and see what happened on the 2nd 2024 to wait for that was … The weather was tight, even more than the second half of last year. And in addition, we will have new standards next year that will change the grill -following a bit, or at least the differences between the teams. They are not the same circumstances and I think that this year it is incredible -it is believed to compete with F1. Although I prefer to have the level of successes, I think it will be complicated.
Long -Term Renewal with McLaren
“This is a fellow matter. I have a contract for this time and next, but I felt it was a natural development to expand the contract. Last year it was a surprise for the team and for two years here I was disbelieving. It was considered where we were when I joined McLaren … And now are the champions of the builders … Andrea, Zak and many major team members have a long -term contract.
