How Will the European Triple Header Impact F1 Title Race?
- By Dr. AK Rana
The European triple header might just decide who walks away with the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship. Most of you already know what I mean.
For the others—let me spell it out: the points gap after these three races could be so massive that the title fight becomes more about chasing shadows than a fair battle.
And right now, the two contenders leading the charge are both from McLaren—Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.
…
Oscar Piastri: The Silent Assassin
Let’s talk about Oscar first—the silent killer.
…
He’s been on a rampage, racking up win after win, and if that momentum continues through the European triple header, then let’s be honest: we might already have our world champion.
His calm, calculated style is eerily reminiscent of Max Verstappen’s dominant 2023 season.
And we love to see it, don’t we?
…
Lando Norris: Time Is Ticking
But don’t count out Lando Norris yet.
This triple header could be his last real shot at turning the tide. He needs at least two wins out of the three, and if he pulls off a clean sweep?
Then we’ve got a real thriller on our hands.
But,
…
Lando Norris cannot afford another performance like the previous triple header, where his title hopes started slipping away bit by bit.

The Turn 1 Battle & Qualifying Wars
For McLaren, the real game starts at Turn 1—and qualifying is everything.
Yes, they’ve got the pace.
But the competition isn’t far behind. Alpine and Williams have both punched above their weight, breaking into the tops and shaking up the grid.
In a season where the field is this tight, even a millisecond mistake can cost you precious points.
And Lando?
He’s up against a ruthless perfectionist in Piastri—a guy who made a rare mistake back in his home race in Australia, and hasn’t put a foot wrong since.
That calm, that focus?
That’s the stuff of champions.

Beyond McLaren: Who Else Is in the Mix?
Looking outside the McLaren garage, George Russell could still be in the mix, provided Mercedes can find an extra gear in the mid-season upgrade window. But they’ll need to act fast.
Max Verstappen? Never say never, but with all the turbulence at Red Bull—from internal politics to Max himself (we all heard the Frenz Herman whispers, Ha…Ha…Ha)—it’s looking unlikely. Right now, Red Bull doesn’t look like the Red Bull we’re used to.
But we can doubt Red bull but Max Verstappen always make us question our doubts?
…
Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton?
Well, unless we witness a miracle… they’re probably out of this year’s title equation.
Ferrari just isn’t “Ferrari-ing” at the moment.
Ha… ha… ha.
So, we’re in for an electric run through Europe—and maybe even a championship-deciding one.
I’m excited. Are you?
