As a first step, they sent their 2025 car, the MCL39, onto the track without any prior announcement. According to the team and its data, it could be a contender for the throne, and the momentum of recent years will continue.
The numbers indicate progress, and the team's drivers promise that this year they will be the talk of the town and the press will be full of them... Not Max Verstappen.
"I don't think 2025 will be about Max. I think there will be a lot of us there. He's still the driver to beat, having won the last four world titles, but the advantage is not as clear-cut anymore."
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 that this trend will be reversed now. This way we can start the championship battle with a much better chance. We don't want to be the chasers, we want to be the chased!” - said Lando Norris.
"It will be incredibly close, much more intense than it was last year. I expect this from 2025! Suderia Ferrari also showed very serious strength at the end of last season, and Mercedes also had serious moments. Of course, the number one contender is still Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen, but we will be there and we will make it very difficult for them!" - Oscar Piastri gave an insight into the plans.
