After an electrifying 2024 Formula 1 season that saw McLaren secure its first Constructors’ Championship in 25 years, Oscar Piastri believes the team is poised for even greater success in 2025. The 23-year-old Australian, who played a key role in McLaren’s resurgence, is setting his sights on the ultimate prize: the Drivers’ Championship.


McLaren’s Revival: A New Era of Dominance?

McLaren’s 2024 campaign was nothing short of extraordinary. The team’s relentless development pushed them to the top of the Constructors’ standings, narrowly defeating Ferrari. While Lando Norris finished second to Max Verstappen in the Drivers’ Championship, Piastri delivered crucial performances that underscored his potential as a future champion.

Reflecting on the team’s meteoric rise, Piastri told SiriusXM:
“I really feel like this could be the start of something special. I’ll make sure I’m ready for the challenge.”


Piastri’s Path to Greatness

In just his second season in Formula 1, Piastri proved he is more than capable of competing at the highest level. While Norris led the charge for McLaren, Piastri consistently impressed with his racecraft, adaptability, and calm demeanor under pressure.

“For me, I know I’ve still got some room to go and things to improve,” Piastri admitted. “But I think I’ve made a lot of big steps this year, and I’m excited to work on my opportunities in the off-season and go again next year.”

The Australian driver’s confidence is well-founded. With McLaren’s cutting-edge development, led by team boss Andrea Stella and a team of top-tier engineers, Piastri sees 2025 as a golden opportunity to make his mark.


A Dream Come True

Despite his rapid ascent in Formula 1, Piastri remains grounded about his achievements. Winning the Constructors’ Championship with McLaren was a milestone he didn’t anticipate so early in his career.

“I never would have dreamt that at this stage of my life and this stage of my career I would be in a world championship-winning team,” Piastri said. “It’s a real pleasure to be part of this.”


Looking Ahead: The Battle for 2025

With McLaren riding a wave of momentum, the upcoming season promises to be one of the most competitive in years. Piastri is determined to challenge teammate Lando Norris and perennial favorite Max Verstappen for the Drivers’ Championship. The intra-team rivalry at McLaren could shape the narrative of the season, with both drivers hungry to establish dominance.

While Norris has emerged as a leader within the team, Piastri’s rapid development makes him a formidable contender. McLaren’s continued improvement, combined with its championship-winning pedigree, sets the stage for an epic showdown in 2025.


McLaren’s Blueprint for Success

The turnaround at McLaren is a testament to years of hard work and strategic vision. From cutting-edge aerodynamics to flawless execution on race day, the team has built a foundation for sustained success. For Piastri, the mission is clear: seize the moment and capitalize on McLaren’s newfound dominance.


The Verdict: Is This Piastri’s Year?

As the 2025 season looms, Oscar Piastri is brimming with optimism and determination. With McLaren firing on all cylinders, he’s ready to take the next step in his career and fight for a world championship.

“This success has been the result of years of hard work, and it’s a real pleasure to be part of this journey,” Piastri said. “I’ll make sure I’m ready for the challenge.”

For McLaren, the 2025 season could solidify their return to the pinnacle of Formula 1. For Piastri, it could be the year he transforms from a rising star to a world champion.
