McLaren Vows to Stay Focused Amid Intense Title Fight

As the 2025 Formula 1 season enters its final stretch, the drivers' championship battle is heating up. With just three races remaining, McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, along with Red Bull's Max Verstappen, are all still in contention for the title.

Despite the rising pressure, McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown has confirmed the team will not let emotions sway their approach. "We're so focused, and we're not going to let emotion pull us off of just keep doing what you're doing," Brown explained on the High Performance podcast.

The American executive emphasized that the team's priority is to continue executing their race strategy and not get distracted by potential drama. "If something pops up in Brazil or Abu Dhabi or pick a race, it was the same thing in Abu Dhabi last year, seven-tenths of a second. On Saturday, we were looking pretty good. First and second on the grid. Carlos was what, P3, P4? Charles is back in P17, P18. It's like Turn 1, our whole world changed."
