As the first step, they sent their 2025 car, the MCL39, onto the track without any prior announcement. According to the team's statements and data, they may be contenders for the throne, and the momentum of recent years will continue.
The numbers indicate progress, and the team's drivers promise that this year the news will be about them, and the press will be filled with their stories… Not Max Verstappen.
"I don’t think 2025 will be about Max. I believe there will be many of us there. He is still the driver to beat, as he has won the last four world championships, but this advantage is no longer as clear-cut.
We are looking forward to this season with more confidence than ever before, and we expect a lot from ourselves. We usually start the year weakly, but we believe this trend will reverse now. This way, we can enter the championship battle with much better chances. We want to be the hunted, not the hunters!" - said Lando Norris.
"It will be incredibly close, much more intense than last year. That’s what I expect from 2025! Scuderia Ferrari also showed serious strength at the end of last season, and Mercedes had some strong moments as well. Of course, the main favorite remains Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen, but we will be there and make it very difficult for him!" - gave insight into the plans Oscar Piastri.
