On Media Day in Barcelona, Lando Noris opted to shoot directly shoulder. McLaren Driver, Monte-Karlo’s own royal pole position on his domestic streets and his former Effervestus Self after winning, was directly asked whether the 2025 F1 title race was between his and Seren Australian team partner Oscar Piastry.
“If you think it’s out of me and Oscar … then you are a little foolish,” Noris said. His deficit for the leader piastry is three points with one third of the season. Defending champion Max Verustapane is away at a speed of 25 points in the third.
“There are a lot of opportunities,” Noris said. “I hope Ferrari will get better because the season will move forward. And Max can still win, come! We are running Max every weekend. I don’t know what you think it is only among McLaren Drivers.”
Nevertheless, the striking advantage of McLaren in the Constracts Championship – 172 points and counting – say something different. The fact of this fact is that it should be a two-horse race. The victorious mastery of only four -time champion Vestepen is the best driver on the grid in Suzuka and Emola, which means that his Capricorn is in a red bull dispute.
But can nine rounds represent a twist for McLaren’s rivals? At the end of this week, a lot of things change about FIA regulation, descending on the Flexi front-wings, see a technical change of up to 5 mm in front of this year’s cars.
Small in theory. Earthquake in reality?
Ferrari team principal Fred Wasser said after the final race in Monaco, “This can be a gamechanger for everyone because we do not know the impact on every team of new regulation.” If there is a team boss, which requires a watershed weekend, then with the scanderia reaching the fourth place and its driver Lewis Hamilton and Charles Lakeler get more disappointed according to the week, it is Vasasur.
“We are now working on this for age,” he said. “We will focus on this that the front wing will be better exploited.”
Mercedes boss Toto Wolf, who needs better performance even after a disappointing fortnight, predicted that Ferrari would be the biggest winner.
“Ferrari was probably the most conservative on Flexi-wings,” he said. “What is this going to do for a Peking order, something that we need to see. I am not sure it will happen, but [it’s] Another angle of curiosity. I don’t know how it is going to go. ,

What is worth it, McLaren is surprised by the change. For at least media members. “Not at all,” Noris replied when he was asked if his team was worried. “Here and there are tweet, but there is nothing that will change how we have to do it.”
Top 10 – Championship of Drivers
1. Oscar Piastry – 161 points
2. Lando Noris – 158 marks
3. Max Vastapain – 136 points
4. George Russell – 99 points
5. Charles Lakeler – 79 points
6. Lewis Hamilton – 63 score
7. Km Antoneley – 48 points
8. Alex Albon – 42 points
9. Estaban Okon – 20 points
10. Isac Hudzer – 15 points
Williams Carlos Sainz, one of the two spanis in his home circuit later this week, was pessimistic about the potential impact. He predicted: “There have been many things about this technical instruction, but I don’t think it will affect the teams as much as people think.
“I will not expect more than one-tenth [of a second] Swing up and down the ground. ,
For Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari, one-tenth will not be sufficient. On average, McLaren’s gains in qualifying have been around 0.3–0.4 seconds, next in line with red bull’s Vastapane.

A miraculous silver tablet for a chasing pack seems to be far -fetched, but in a game as Formula One as Formula One, in a game, the devil will be in detail as the cars are revealed in the pit lane before practice on Friday.
As it stands, however, Noris and Piestry are clear preferred at the end of this week in Barcelona, which is last ready to host the Spanish Grand Prix before the last summer run at the Madrid Street Circuit. East a base for pre-seasons, this old school track at a distance of 15 miles from the city center can be a final F1 hurray in 2026, as a standalone phenomenon, before its contract ends.
Till then, new engines and chassis rules can completely replace the front and backmarkers. This is the reason, in the championship of drivers, McLaren should count this year, whether it is Noris or Piastry Basking in the brightness of the victory of its papaya race suit. As long as, of course, this weekend presents a new story for six months.
