What Makes McLaren’s Pre-Season Testing So Intriguing? the secrets behind!
- By Dr. AK Rana
McLaren seems to be playing a well-calculated game during pre-season testing, keeping their true pace under wraps.
Oscar Piastri, their secretive spy, didn’t even complete one proper flying lap. He blazed through Sector 1, slowed down in Sector 2, and repeated the same pattern in Sector 3—again and again.
When asked about it in the press conference, Oscar smirked and said, “Yeah, we’re trying too many things to make it a bit faster.”
That trademark smile of his?
It practically screamed, “You guys can speculate all you want, but one thing is certain—McLaren is the fastest in 2025.”
They are indeed testing “too many things.” Lando Norris gave us a small glimpse of McLaren’s raw speed by setting the fastest lap on Day 2—only because the team needed the data. In the final hour of pre-season testing, he emerged with McLaren’s car covered entirely in green, almost as if it were disguised as Stake. But that wasn’t the only eye-catching detail.
The entire car was wrapped in intricate aerodynamic paint, revealing secrets that McLaren was desperate to protect. As Norris rolled into the pit lane, the team immediately formed a human wall—blocking cameras, paparazzi, and rival teams from catching a glimpse. More than 30 mechanics huddled around, shielding it as they carefully wheeled it back into the garage.
Meanwhile, Oscar’s lack of laps and absence from the fastest timesheets sparked suspicions. Is he struggling? Well, qualifying has never been his strong suit compared to Lando, but all he needs to do is secure a spot in the top three. And once he’s in the mix, we all know he has the skill to fight for victory. Perhaps that’s exactly what Lando fears—losing pole positions to his teammate.
When asked about the car’s competitiveness, Oscar responded, “It’s tricky—some things are better, some aren’t. Nothing much to say about this generation of car… but honestly, it doesn’t have to be perfect.”
Then, with a grin, he dropped the real bombshell:
“It just needs to be better than any other car on the grid.”
We see you, Oscar. You’re hinting at something big, and we’re not doubting you for a second. The truth will finally be revealed in the second week of March at the Australian Grand Prix.
McLaren has kept their cards close to their chest, unlike Ferrari, where Charles Leclerc was already running race simulations on Day 3. But secrecy or not, the excitement is through the roof!
