Is McLaren too far gone in the title race?

Post

|

July 30, 2025

OVER the past two decades, there’s never really been any real rivalry at the top of Formula 1. It’s mainly been one team dominating and the rest of the top four trying to catch up as closely as possible.

- JEHRAN NAIDOO

Since the second half of last season, and all of this season, McLaren have been the team everyone is trying to catch up with. But midway through the season, it looks as though it’s already over for everyone else.

Be it the Constructors or the Drivers World Title, the chances of any other team but papaya lifting the silverware at the end of the season are slim to none. The double podium in Belgium put them over 250 points clear in the Constructors race.

Oscar Piastri is about 80 points clear of Max Verstappen in third place with the battle for World Champion seemingly fixed between the young Aussie and his teammate Lando Norris.
