McLaren Duo Lead F1 Title Chase After Norris Mexico Win

McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella expressed strong confidence in drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri as they head into the final four races of the 2025 Formula One season, with neither driver having a track advantage. Norris recently took the championship lead by a single point after a dominant lights-to-flag victory in Mexico City, which was McLaren's first win in several races and their 13th of the season. Stella emphasized that the team has improved its ability to consistently extract performance from the car and highlighted the importance of competitiveness rather than just mathematical possibilities in the title fight. Both drivers have reasons to be optimistic, with Norris thriving on low-grip conditions and Piastri adapting his driving style effectively for recent circuits. Despite Piastri losing ground to Norris recently, Stella praised his learning and experience gained, which will aid his championship push. The upcoming races in Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi, along with two sprint events in Sao Paulo and Doha, offer an open contest between the McLaren teammates, with the team aiming to maximize their car's performance in all conditions.
