McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella has praised the current talent in Formula 1, considering it the most competitive in history.
Past F1 seasons have sometimes featured multiple World Champions competing for the title, such as Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel.
The recent dominance of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen limited the number of winners, with only nine new champions emerging.
Oscar Piastri’s addition to the winner’s list signifies the rising competitiveness among F1 drivers.
According to Stella, the 2025 grid represents the best talent pool in F1 history.
He attributes this to a new generation of highly trained drivers emerging from top-tier academies.
Stella believes nearly half the grid now possesses the skill to contend for the championship, thanks to advanced training techniques in the junior categories.
