There is no doubt that McLaren are dominating the 2025 season compared to their other rivals. For a team which was struggling to gain points in the mid-field in 2022 and 2023, McLaren came a long way this year. The team from Woking made significant improvements in the previous year. As a result, they are setting the benchmark for 2025 teams. Almost every weekend, McLaren ends up as the fastest car. The other teams can&rsquo;t find a viable solution to their pace.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Race week mode: &#128283;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/McLaren?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#McLaren<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BelgianGP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#BelgianGP<\/a> &#127463;&#127466; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xhE8oG3gz6\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/xhE8oG3gz6<\/a><\/p>&mdash; McLaren (@McLarenF1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/McLarenF1\/status\/1947600393308975369?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 22, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season Recap- McLaren F1<\/h2><p>McLaren won the opening round of the 2025 championship. Lando Norris led the team to a great victory starting from pole position. They faced a slight disadvantage after Piastri&rsquo;s spinout in the Australian Grand Prix, however, the team made up for it in the upcoming weekends. Oscar Piastri starting from a disadvantage in the 2025 set out to absolute rule the competition.<\/p><p>Piastri won races defiantly outclassing his teammate. He was winning spree until Monaco Grand Prix. As a result, McLaren F1 are currently racing with a major advantage in both championships. Piastri and Norris had two chaotic moments in the first half of the season.<\/p><p>The duo collided at the Canadian Grand Prix, leading to Norris&rsquo;s retirement from the race. Piastri and Norris also had a tense situation at the British Grand Prix. The Aussie wanted to reclaim the lead of the race with team orders against Lando Norris. There are hints of tension but the two drivers have been mature rivals so far.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">McLaren F1 2025 Highlights<\/h3><figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Championship Standing<\/strong><\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Points<\/strong><\/td><td>460<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Wins<\/strong><\/td><td>9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Podiums<\/strong><\/td><td>20<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">McLaren F1 Driver H2H- Lando Norris vs Oscar Piastri<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Lando Norris &ndash;  GBR<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Oscar Piastri &ndash; AUS<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Standings<\/strong><\/td><td>2<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Points<\/strong><\/td><td>226<\/td><td>234<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Wins<\/strong><\/td><td>4<\/td><td>5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Podiums<\/strong><\/td><td>10<\/td><td>10<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are in a league of their own this season.

One weekend, he is exuding perfection in races and next weekend, he is severely lagging behind. It hurts his chances in the championship and also ruins his credibility to keep up the fight compared to Oscar. Piastri on the other hand had a rare show of emotion previous weekend. He needs to hold back from driving recklessly, like he did in Britain, Piastri&rsquo;s calm demeanour is his best talent in the 2025 grid.<\/p><p>McLaren should easily win the 2025 constructor&rsquo;s championship. As far as the drivers championship is concerned, the team has the best chances for winning the title.

I got into online journalism a couple of years ago. I used to be an intern for a website managing their Formula 1 content and then I served an entire year as a contractual writer. For me, online journalism was not something I expected. I am a Mechanical Engineer aiming to join Formula 1. At the same time, I am a poet, writer and my university\\'s Literary Club Lead. One day the dots connected together and I realised I could use my writing skills to convey my passion for Motorsports. The biggest aspects I love about my role are- Scuderia Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel. When I am not fawning over them I like to convey my opinions to the public, in a manner which helps them gain a new point of view. I love helping people explore new ideas about Motorsports and obviously get recognised as a writer all over the world.
