As a first step towards getting on the track, they have sent their 2025 car, the MCL39, without any prior announcement. The team believes they could have a chance to be a contender for the throne and the momentum of recent years should continue.
So the numbers indicate progress and the team's drivers promise that this year there will be news about them and the press will be full of their names... Not about Max Verstappen.
"I don't think 2025 is going to be about Max. I think there will be a lot of us there. He's still the rider to beat because he's won the last four world championships, but it's not such a clear advantage anymore.
We feel more confident than ever before for this season and have high expectations of ourselves. We usually start the year weakly, but we believe that this trend will change now. So we have a much better chance of being in the title fight. We don’t want to be the chaser, we want to be the chased!” - said Lando Norris.
"It will be incredibly close, much more even than last year. I expect that from 2025! Scuderia Ferrari already showed very strong strength at the end of last season and Mercedes also had serious moments. Of course, the main favorite remains Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen, but we will be there and make it very difficult for him!" - Oscar Piastri looked into the plans.
