McLaren hopes to take the last step it is missing to return to the top. After 26 years without titles, the British team managed to win the 2024 constructors' championship by finishing better than Ferrari and Red Bull. If Lando Norris has long been close behind Max Verstappen in the title race, Oscar Piastri has also made significant progress, notably winning these first two Grands Prix. While he finished in fourth place in the drivers' standings behind Verstappen, Norris and Leclerc, the Australian hopes to be able to join the fight for the title next season, as he confided to Motorsport : “I think so [je peut être un candidat pour le titre en 2025]. [Mais] I still have things to learn and improve. »
“I think I have almost all the tools I need”
Oscar Piastri believes he is making significant progress and feels capable of competing, provided he is consistent: “I feel like I'm getting to a point where some days I think I have almost all the tools I need. I just don't put them all together, not the way I want to, and I feel like last year I didn't have all the tools I needed. I had some, but I was missing others. » The competition promises to be fiercer than ever next year.
