Why McLaren has gone 'aggressive' with 2025 F1 car
We tell all about the surprise launch of the first new Formula 1 car of 2025 - the McLaren MCL39 - in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast. First, Mark Hughes joins Edd Straw at a cold and blustery Silverstone to discuss McLaren’s prospects of the season and what drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, as well as team principal Andrea Stella, revealed about the season ahead. And we also highlight the influence of a certain ex-Red Bull technical leader that is very clear in the approach it has taken this year. Then, Gary Anderson joins us to give his detailed technical appraisal of the car and explain why he’s convinced by the direction the team has taken.
