Zak Brown has claimed McLaren haven't had the fastest car for three of their five wins in F1 2025.

McLaren have enjoyed an i🍰mpressive start to the 2025 F1 🌊season.

The Miami Grand Prix was their most dominant weekend of the year so far, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell finishing over 30 seconds behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris in second.

McLaren are already 105 points ahead of Mercedes in the 2♒0ꦫ25 F1 constructors’ championship fight.

Despite McLaren’s strong start to th൩e year, Brown was keen to downplay their advantage.

The McLaren CEO suggested t📖hey didn’t have the fastest car in three of the five races they won.

“I know it’s 5 of 6, and technically that’s statistically dominant,” Brown said. “But I can tell you, ꦚhaving been on pit wall for the wins, this one was obviously one we could control.

“Australia was tricky conditions – the other three that we won, we weren’t even the fastest car. We just executed really well. A lot of rac﷽ing to go, 𝓰great to see the gap here, but we’re not taking anything for granted.

“But a long way to go. This time last year we were๊ third in the Championship I believe.

“And the team that was lead🌜ing the Championship ended up in third…. tells you there’s a lot of racing left to go.”

Is Brown right about McLaren?

While Norris won the season-opening Australian Grand Prix by le🎉ss than one second, McLaren had a decisive pace advantage over the rest of the field.

Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri ran over 15 seconds ahead of Verstappen before the Safety Car period caused by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso.

In China, Russell finished 11 s🔯econds off the lead McLaren. 

At ☂Suzuka, Verstappen took the only non-McLaren vic𝐆tory of the year.

However, both McLaren drivers felt they had the pace t🗹o get ahead of Verstappen but couldn’t due to the lack of ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚclean air.

Japan was down to Verstappen’s b𒆙rilliance rather than car advantage.

McLaren had the fastest car in Bahrain, with Piastri winning byജ over 15 seconds.

So far, in 2025, the only race in which McLaren might not have hadꦍ the fastest car was in Saudi Arabia.

Verstappen pulled away from Piastri when 🍬leading the race and finished just a few seconds behind the Australian.

The four-time F1 worl𒆙d champion would likely have won without his penalty for th🤪e incident on the opening lap.

So it’s not up for debate that McLaren have been fastest in five of the six races this seasoౠn.
