Lando Norris and his teammate Oscar Baysri insists on his rival Max Versaben in 2025 F1 race | F1 news

McLaren, the duo Lando Norris and Oscar Bayaster, rejected the suggestions that the ruling world champion Max Versaben was outside the title of Formula 1 drivers 2025.

Piastri Norris leads with three points at the top of the arrangement, with Verstapen of Red Bull 25 points of Australian in third place after a third of the season.

It is clear that McLaren had the fastest car during the opening stages of the campaign, but the introduction in the Spanish Grand Prix race this week to direct a technical that would limit the front wings bending has led to speculation that could decrease or erase the Wofk Squad feature.

Speaking on Thursday before the Barcelona race, Norris said: “From a sporting point of view, the entire network can win the championship in the minute.

“If you think it has gone out of me and Oscar, I think you are a little ridiculous. There are a lot of opportunities. Max can win. Ferrari, I expect to improve during the season.

“I mean, come on, we are racing the maximum at the end of each week. He was on the platform several times, he won the races, and we hit the Imola and square exhibition because it was faster.

“I don’t know what makes you think it is only between me and Oscar.”

At the end of last week in Monaco, Norris claimed his first victory in the grand prize race since the opening round of the season to bridge the gap over Pastari, but he insists on another victory – that would give him the progress of the championship – will not change his method.

Norris added: “It is a great feeling to be the championship and has more points than everyone.” “But this is not something to see, it’s not something that changes anything I do day after day or how difficult it is to work, or what I am trying to achieve.

“I just try to win this week and I will try to win in Montreal and Austria. It has nothing to do with a position.”

PIASSTRI: Max cannot be calculated

PiaSSTRI, who is chasing Norris, won its first title, three consecutive victories to open a 16 -point feature but failed to win the two rounds since then.

The Australian, who has already participated in many wheelbase battles to the wheels with Versabpen, warned of the threat of the Dutch.

PiaSSTRI said: “I don’t think it can be calculated.

“Of course, there were weekends where we were stronger, but I think they had developed their car, and found more performance.

“So, I think at this point, Max is definitely still in the title race.”

PiaSSTRI believes that Red Bull can be a particularly competing in Barcelona, ​​where the path shared similarities with Suzuka and Imola, where Verstapen’s 2025 victories came.

He added: “I expect to be fast. It is a similar design in some characteristics to where they were fast this year. All circles of higher speed were in general as Max Ward Paul was very strong, and this is another of those circles.

“Therefore, I expect them to be definitely in the battle this week, and we will see if any other competitors outside the Red Ball.”

Verstappen: It doesn’t seem to be a battle

Verstapen, who is chasing the title of fifth consecutive drivers, insists that he does not feel that he is in a “battle” with McLares because of his superior competitor.

He said: “For me, it doesn’t seem to be a battle. I just try to do my best, and enjoy a little there. Not this season, even this point, it will be in my memory forever.”

VersApet repeated that he found controlling F1 in recent years more fun than fighting for victories, but he says that his “fighting” will never disappear.

He added: “I am more excited when I know that we can be very fast! I always try to do my best, but this year, so far, they had some real positives but also some negatives as we were really not really really enjoyable.

“This also does not disappear. But this does not mean that I enjoy it or love it. Even this point will not be remembered for me.

Verstapen said it is not related to whether he believes he is able to win the title because he is not a factor that will affect his performance.

He said: “It is not that I do not believe in that. I just go up to the path and do my best in every weekend.

“I know that every time I go there, I do my best. If it is with a car capable of P5, I will put it P5. If it is able to win, I will win.

“I just get close to it very simple, which also does not eat too much energy.”
