Juan Pablo Montoya expects McLaren to decide which driver to back out of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri after 10 races in F1 2025.

The topic of team orders was a tricky one for McLaren 🔜to deal with during the 2024 season as they return﷽ed to title contention.

Even though Norris was McLaren’s best hope of winning the title, it 🍎wasn’t until Azerbaijan that Piastri was informed of their plan to deploy team orders.

This came a🌄fter three races (Austria sprint, Hungary and Italy) where Piastꦿri finished ahead of Norris and cost his teammate crucial points in the championship.

Norris insisted that he wanted to beat Piastri fai🐓rly, only benefitting from team orders🌄 in the Brazil sprint.

Speaking to mahbx.com via , Montoya gave his view ♉on McLaren’s driver situation ahead of th𝐆e new season.

“Lando Norris did a really good job of st❀epping up last season, because I really though Oscar Piastri was going t꧋o get the better of him,” Montoya said.

“Piastri nee🎉ds to step up this season too, if he can put enough pressure on Norris, it will be interesting to see how their partnership unfolds.

“McLaren need to say to both drivers at the start of the season ‘we’re 100 per cent even, there will be no bias, we want both cars to perform but we will focus and give the opportunities to whoever is leading the c♏hampionship’.

“McLaren will make a decision on w🃏ho to prioritise after 10 races, I’d say. That should give♑ a good indication of who will be in the running for the championship.”

Are McLaren favourites ahead of F1 2025?

McLaren clinched their first F1 constructors’ title since 1998 last𒊎 year.

For the majority of the season, Mc﷽La𒀰ren had the fastest car on the grid, but failed to capitalise on it through driver error or strategic mistakes.

With the rules remaining stable for the winterღ, McLaren will be fancying theiಌr chances of another title bout.
