McLaren began the Formula 1 campaign on the back foot and was competing towards the rear of the field before successfully developing itself towards the head of the pack in the second half of the campaign.
Oscar Piastri feels that McLaren is steadily becoming more comfortable with its competitive position in the Formula 1 grid. The team has successfully developed its car throughout the season, with significant upgrades in Austria and Singapore, propelling them to the second-fastest team behind Red Bull. Piastri and Lando Norris have achieved nine podium finishes in the last 11 races and are on track to finish fourth in the Constructors’ Championship. McLaren has struggled in recent years but is now making progress under CEO Zak Brown. Piastri emphasizes the team’s belief in its ability to compete at the front and the incredible development and progress they have made. The key factor in McLaren’s resurgence has been the correlation between its factory data and on-track performance, with upgrades leading to improved performance as expected.
