Miami, Florida – The Miami 2024 Grand Prix began something special for McLaren.
The team brought a large update package for the MCL38, and paid immediate dividends when Lando Norris secured his first victory of the Grand Prix that last Sunday. The victory kicked the McLaren championship season in high march, and when the team returns to Miami for the delivery of this year of the Miami Grand Prix, they are not only the classification of the Builder Championship, but also ‘Champs’ Leads Leads.
Oscar Piastri.
While Norris was the year as the favorite of the probabilities for the pilot championship, and assured a victory in the season that opens the Australian Grand Prix, it is Piestri who leads the way at this time. With three victories in his belt, Pastri has become the new favorite in the race for the title, and arrives in Miami as the pilot that everyone is chasing.
Talking to the media on Thursday, Piastri talked about this year’s car, his strong start of the season and what is most proud at this time.
“I think the car is an evolution of what we had last year, there are some things that are different, but there are many things that still do the same last season,” Piastri said at the beginning of his media session of the challenge of the year, and Hanis and Hanis Hanis Hanis and Hanstger. About how difficult the MCL39 is driving.
“I think from my side, you know, I feel that I have tasks a step forward in all areas.
There has not been a specific thing in which I tried to work since last year, I have been trying to find those last injuries of seconds where I can, and I think it has been making the difference at this time, “Piestri continued.
“I’ve still lost in some posts [positions] For a few hundredths of seconds, so I still have a little more excavation, but I think that is the big difference for me so far.
“There are still some things that we are trying to solve as a team with the car we have. It is clearly very fast, but it is not always easy to rhythm, but I think so, that was the case sometimes last year.”
Piastri then spoke extensively about the difference in McLaren of Miami 2024 and Miami 2025. The driver described how this year there is “a quite different atmosphere” in McLaren that a year ago.
“I mean, it is very different from what it was last year,” Piastri began.
“The position in which we are definitely different from when we enter the Miami last year. This was the child of the turning point for the team in the team, and this season we are already in a roll. Far. So it is a different Wephere, which argues” insephere “continued the driver of McLaren.” But I’ve been enjoying it a lot. You know, every time you can enter a weekend knowing that you have a very good opportunity to win the race, and if you do a job good enough, you will win the race, always a good position.
“So, I’ve been enjoying it. It’s always fun when you’re competing on the front and winning races and I only have my leg trying to enjoy it as much as I can.”
Pressing how he feels like leading in the pilot championship, Piastri chose to concentrate on what he has put at the top of the classification, and not simply his thoughts in the upper part of the classification.
“Winning the races is what is exciting right now. I think that being the leader of the championship is pleasant, but I think I said after Saudi Arabia, I am much more proud and satisfied with the work and the reasons why I am leading the championship, Piestri acts.
“I think, especially since Melbourne was not very good from the point of view of the points, consulting that I started with a little deficit and brought it back, I think he is a son of the part that I am why doing the Pamp is reallocation.”
Even so, as the only conductor with three prix victories under his belt, Piasstri has it at the top of the classification with emphasis. In his opinion, however, what stands out is how different each of those three victories has been and what that could mean for the Chans and the team this season.
“The three victories that I have had so far have been slightly different,” Piastri said. “I think Bahrein was a very, very strong weekend.
“China was a similar weekend, Waseas, I think Saudi [Arabia]I think the competition was closer. I don’t think that weekend, and won in Saudi [Arabia] Due to being very strong in other areas, I think “Piestri continues.” And for me, I prefer not to have to trust that every week, but I think I am proud of the fact that the child has different tools at my disposal to try to win. “
