For now, the pilot championship is by the Duo McLaren. Can Pastri ask for the passage or can Norris impose himself? Williams 86 leaves the inheritance
Since last year, McLaren has been said to think about great. Gradually, the team was collecting the factors to be successful: a fast car, a couple of young and trained pilots and value members. But it was necessary to create a winning team thought.
This aspect began to become clearer when McLaren has shown that it could be a winner and manage her pilots. Lando Norris is what we can call “young veteran” and apparently had the team’s priority at this point. But when it comes to fighting with Verstappen and also in the application of so called “Papaya rules”, the trust went to vinegar …
In this season, McLaren knew how to capitalize on the good previous base and was in advance with MCL39. Having the effective participation of the former Red Bull Rob Marshall from the beginning of the concept, the car proved to be fast from the beginning. Although he did not marry the best time in the short host in Bahrain, McL39 gave Norris and Pisters the opportunity to mark the curves consistent at a very strong pace.
One of the McLaren earnings since 2023 was the management of the tires. Gradually, the technicians were working on suspensions and another critical point: air resistance, creating excessive resistance. Combined, these aspects make the difference in performance. Since 2024, the team has evolved in the management of tires, traction (especially in low curves) and has gained speed without meaning of aerodynamic support.
Another field that McLaren won was Oscar Pisters. The Australian was a firm bet by Zak Brown, taking him out of Alpine in a well -designed game with the manager of the pilot Mark Webber. Since the beginning of his performance in 2023, the Australian has shown that he had speed, but he needed to have experience. And the trial was taking place in 2024. Until this year Pasters confirms its speed, but learned to give it and won in the test administration.
So far, McLaren, for an appearance, cannot complain: in four tests, he has won three (not to mention the Chinese sprint); He has a difference of 58 points in second place in the manufacturers and his two cyclists lead the pilot championship. Okay, no?
Not entirely.
Norris, who should be the thesis to be the main pilot, made mistakes that did not expect from him. It is not surprising that many put their ability to lead the team and actually be a container to the title. There is a line that emerged in recent weeks, based on a speech by Norris himself, who has not felt at ease with the behavior of McL39, who did not have the performances that spread him.
In the meantime, Pisters seems to confirm everything that was expected of him from the basic categories. And so far he has won more than Norris.
It is still early for McLaren to take advantage of a part. But soon the ghost of Williams 1986 begins to take shape to give that fear. Naqeeele Year, Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell fought fiercely all year round and Alain Prost took the situation to win the championship. The difference is that, so far, it has not appeared difficult to occupy the position of taking advantage of this internal struggle between Norris and Pisters. The expectation that is formed is to see how F1 will be from the Spain GP with the increase in the inspection of the wings.
McLaren fans hope that the team does not melt and someone gets there to get to win the driver’s title. 2024 has already been a bitter show of this photo and it is believed that Zak Brown wants a complete party at the end of this season and not a rubble of rubble …
