As a first step, without any warning, they sent their 2025 car, the MCL39, onto the track. According to the team's statements and the data, it could be a contender for the throne, and the energy of recent years will continue to persist.
The numbers therefore indicate progress, and the team's drivers promise that this year they will be at the centre of the news, and the media will talk about them... Not about Max Verstappen.
“I don’t think 2025 will be about Max. I think there will be a lot of us there. He’s still the guy to beat, as he’s won the last four world titles, but that advantage is not a given at all.
We are approaching this season with more confidence than ever before, and we expect a lot from ourselves. We usually start the year weak, but we believe that this trend will change. Therefore, we will have a much better chance of getting into the fight for the championship. We don't want to be the hunters, we want to be the hunted!” - said Lando Norris.
“It will be incredibly tight, much more competitive than last year. That’s what I expect from 2025! Scuderia Ferrari already showed very serious strength at the end of last season, and Mercedes also had significant moments. Of course, the main favorite remains Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen, but we will be there and make things very difficult for him!” - shared Oscar Piastri about the plans.
