The key difference between the performances of McLaren’s two driv꧅ers has been spot🍨ted.

McLaren have possessed Formula 1’s fastes𝓡t car for roughly the past year, charging past Red Bull to win the constructors’ championship last year and clinging onto it with an iron grip this year.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri is also three points clear of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris at the top of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings.

Max Verstappen trails the championship leader by 25 points and left last weekend’s F1 Spanish Grand Prix angrily implying he might not be able to🐭 challenge for the title.

But even N🦋orris is often struggling to contend with Piastri, who has won five out of nine grands prix in 2025.

“His challenge is to ♊find the weaknesses,” Juli🍒anne Cerasoli advised Norris about his teammate on the F1 Nation podcast.

“Because there were weaknesses in the past.

“The end of last year was important for Oscar because would alwa✱ys hear ‘y🎐ou are always getting better’ but, at the end, he wasn’t happy.

“He had to d🌊ig deep in the winter break to understand what he 🍸was doing wrong, especially in race pace.

“Lan🐎do is very good with ra🌠ce pace so Oscar is learning quicker.

“It is hard, at the moment, to find weaknesses.

“Wheel-to-wheel, he is good. Qualifying, he is good. He’s a𝔍lways calm, always settled, 🌠he finds solutions.

“It is hard for Lando.”

Jesús Balseiro recalled: “Remember t🍎he same place a year ago, Lando was on pole but he lost ✃the first corner.

“He lost a race which could have been McLaren’ꦬs. We thought the Red Bull was stil𝓡l the dominant car but later we learned that it wasn’t.

“Osca𒉰r doesn’t give any room, he is flawless weekend after weekend.

“Maybe that’s the big difference between him and Lando.
“Land🌳o used to make enough mistakes to leave the door open to Max.

“So far, with Oscar, we find a flawless driver.”

Cerasoli pointed out: “Lando needs to up his game in qua๊lifying.

“If he qualifies first, engineers tell us that b♋eing in free air gives you three tenths.

“Three tent♈hs against his tꩵeammate means he will win the race.

“He needs to qualify beౠtter. Then he doesn’t have to play any other games.”

N༺orris qualified on pole position a꧃t the F1 Monaco Grand Prix and duly converted it into a race win.

In Spain, last weekend, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:he bemoa🍷ned errors which cost him in qualifying.

McLaren have racked up t𒆙hre🃏e 1-2 finishes this season already.

Even amid the flexi-wing clampdown in Spain, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Norris noted it changed nothing.

The challenge for McLaren ma🌠y be how to appease both drivers in a title battle.

Andrea Stella insists their 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:pre-race debriefs ♎have not changed despite their drivers 🅠bot𝓡h sitting first and second in the standings.
