2025 McLaren F1 Team

I guess WDC is back on?

[Darth-Piekus]

Nobody knows. Everything is still on. Unless both Mclarens do an 1-2 no single driver is safe from Max and his divebombs that usually send cars out of bounds.

WDC back on.

Max is really impressive. Hard to beat. Reminds me of Schumacher who tormented my early McLaren years.

T1 will be very interesting tomorrow.
Don’t be surprised if Oscar is leading after the first lap

Impressive. RedBull got it together and Max seems happy enough with it. RedBull+Max has been the best package since Monza and I don't see it changing until the end of the season unless McLaren cook something up and resume development of this year's car for the remaining races.

2nd and 3rd is fine. Its all within manageable range.

[Darth-Piekus]

We can safely say that Red Bull is the best car even slightly at this point and no longer the tractor white lie that people used to say (in never was but anyway). So let's see what Mclaren will do to defend that WDC.

I honestly feel they will rely solely on the more predominantly medium speed circuits coming up as their ‘upgrade’.

For me, this weekend is more like Silverstone and guess who was on pole there…

Max got pole by less than a tenth. If RB is faster car then Lando is at least equally fast as Max which is nonsense.

On a good day in quali? Wouldn't be surprised if he was to be honest. The problem with Lando is that he doesn't get many good days. Especially this season. Whereas Max is completely the opposite. All his days are good, but there's a couple where he is completely untouchable on top of that.

[Darth-Piekus]

On a good day if Lando Norris gets what he wants from the car, he has no equal. However he doesn't seem to be able to replicate that as many times as Max. Piastri can do that but he is missing a tenth or two from being top overall but that will come with experience. Let's not forget he is already on a better trajectory than Max was in his third year. We can also safely say that Red Bull is as good if not better than Mclaren at this point. Even if it's half a tenth.

That's because you think Norris and Verstappen are equals. They so aren't.

[Sergej]

Lando just said he didn't do a good lap (what a surprise ?), couple this with Max being only 0.071s ahead and you'll get which car is faster.

[pantherxxx]

If Verstappen would be driving this Mclaren he would lead the championship by like 100 points. Let's be honest here.

[Ben1980]

I still don't see a way Oscar doesnt win the title. ( well crashes etc) but just getting top 3 each race will be fine.

Las Vegas is the wild card though.
