McLaren F1 Team

F1 seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton’s start with Ferrari has been tumultuous, with team principal Fred Vasseur admitting that the team incorrectly adjusted the setup after winning the sprint race in the Chinese Grand Prix, leading to a performance drop in the main race.

Recently, former Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas secretly drove McLaren’s MCL60 car for testing in Barcelona, drawing widespread attention.

In the 2025 F1 season opening Australian Grand Prix, home driver Oscar Piastrini missed the chance to win at home due to the McLaren team’s “hold position” order, ultimately finishing in 9th place.
