In a first step, without any prior announcements, they sent their 2025 car, the MCL39, to the track. According to the team's statements and data, it has a chance to be a contender for the throne, and the momentum of recent years should continue.
So the numbers indicate progress and the team's drivers promise that they, not Max Verstappen, will be in the news this year.
"I don't think 2025 will be about Max. I think there will be a lot of us there. He's still the driver to beat because he's won the last four world titles, but that advantage is not as clear anymore."
We are looking forward to this season with more confidence than ever and have high expectations of ourselves. We usually start the year weaker, but we believe that this time the trend will change. So we have a much better chance of entering the fight for the title. We don't want to be the pursuers, we want to be pursued! "- declared Lando Norris.
"It will be incredibly close, much more even than last year. This is what I expect from 2025! Scuderia Ferrari already showed very strong form at the end of last season and Mercedes also had some strong moments. Of course, the main favorite is still Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen, but we will be there and make it very difficult for him!" - Oscar Piastri outlined the plans.
