“Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri dominated the 2025 F1 championship with a strong performance in Austria, but McLaren’s true dominance may still face challenges in upcoming races.
Red Bull was disappointed by their lackluster performance at their home race, with Kimi Antonelli’s collision with Max Verstappen on lap 1 adding insult to injury.
Verstappen was quick to move on from the incident and celebrate his GT3 team’s win at Spa 24 Hours, while Red Bull’s Christian Horner expressed a mix of admiration and envy towards McLaren’s performance.
Horner praised Piastri’s skill in following Norris closely without damaging his tires, highlighting McLaren’s aerodynamic upgrades and overall efficiency in the 2025 car.
Despite McLaren’s impressive showing in Austria, questions remain about Verstappen’s potential performance with a clean weekend and the ongoing competition from Ferrari, especially as the season progresses.”
