McLaren's dominance this season has defied expectations, with the team securing nine victories in XX races and establishing a commanding 238-point lead in the Constructors' Championship. — Leclerc, whose Ferrari team trails in second place, acknowledged McLaren's remarkable progress since their close title battle in 2024. Speaking to media, Leclerc remarked: “I wish I knew what made McLaren so fast this year. For sure, they've done a significant step forward, something that I don't think many of us expected, because when you get to the last year of those regulations, everything tends to converge a little bit.” “But this year they just did a big step forward. I doubt that it's coming from one thing. It never comes from only one thing. I think it's just many different things that they are doing better than others, which makes a big difference at the end.” — McLaren's advantage has been linked to their MCL39 car's ability to generate optimal tyre temperature without overheating, especially in hot conditions like those in Bahrain. Leclerc continued: “But it is true that one of the characteristics that [has] significantly improved since last year is hot weather. I think I remember there was an FP3 in Bahrain this year where I'm still wondering how did Oscar do that lap time in that heat, which was very impressive.” “There are these kinds of laps that you look and you say, you're just a bit lost for words and you don't really understand where the performance comes from.” “So they found something, especially whenever it's warm and on tyres, that we're still trying to figure out.” — George Russell attributed McLaren's success to their avoidance of development setbacks that have plagued other teams with ground effect cars. Speaking to media, Russell noted: “If we knew, we wouldn't have fallen back, to be honest. We don't really know.” #charlesleclerc 🇲🇨 #oscarpiastri 🇦🇺 #mclarenf1 🇬🇧 #formula1 #f12025 VIA: [motorsportweek]  XXX engagements  **Related Topics** [oscar](/topic/oscar) [dominance](/topic/dominance) [bahrain](/topic/bahrain) [charles leclerc](/topic/charles-leclerc) [mclaren](/topic/mclaren) [formula 1](/topic/formula-1) [Post Link](https://x.com/ThisIsFormu1a1/status/1947857899965092034)
