Ex-F1 driver Johnny Herbert expects thꦛe intra-team riv💖alry at McLaren to be the “big head-to-head” in 2025.

McLaren secured their first F1 constructors’ title since 1998 as they narrowly finished ahead of Ferrar🎉i in this year's🌺 championship.

While168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lando Norris generally had an edge over 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri t🎃hrough🍌out the year, there were still a number of tense moments between the pair.

In Hungar🔯y, Piastri overtook Norris at the start but lost out through the second round of pit stops.

This then fo🐻rced McLaren to order Norris to move over for Piastri, which🦩 the Brit was initially reluctant to do.

At Monza, Piastri attacked Norris on the opening lap, causing the latter to lose out to eventual race winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc.

McL🔯aren publicly announced🎃 Piastri’s role would be to assist Norris from Azerbaijan onwards.

, Herbert sees the battle between Norris and Piastri being one of 2025’s hot storylines.

“He [Piastri] has the right attitude,” he said. “It is about him, and he doesn’t care about anyওone else. That is what he ha♉s to take into a fresh season in which McLaren will start as favourites.

“He has Mark Webber as his mana🥂ger. Oscar knows what he needs to do. If he comes out of the blocks dominating, then he will be in a very good place, but I don’t think Lando is going to allow that. Lando has been magnificent in his qualifying performances and has still raced brilliantly.

“The competition will push the pair of them. I like Oscar’s strong mindset. The next big head-to-head next season is going to be between Oscar and Lando! McLaren w🦂ill dominate ahead of Red Bull, then Ferrari and Mercedes.”

A big year for Piastri

After a strong rookie season, Piastri൩ struggled to truly build on it, particularly in qualifying during his sophomore year.

Piastri was only aℱble to out-qualify Norris on four occasions across 24 racꦕes.

His best work was on race day. 

While Piastri lacks Norris’s o🔯utright pace, his wheel-to-wheel ability and composure in key moments earned him a number of big results.

He will need to up his game in qualifying – and raw pace in geꦅneral – if he’s going to be a serious threat to Norris.
