2025 Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix Highlights

Hear from McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and Team Principal Andrea Stella after the 2025 Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix.

Oscar gets a clean start, and Lando drops to P3 behind Verstappen. Lando closes up to Verstappen and gets the pass for P2 done. The cars behind, including Verstappen, begin to take their first pit stops. Lando boxes for a set of Mediums, with Oscar doing the same one lap later. The order shakes out with Oscar in P2 and Lando in P3, both of whom are behind Verstappen. Verstappen boxes, moving Oscar and Lando up to P1 and P2. Lando and Oscar both box for Softs. On Lap 56, a Safety Car is deployed, so Lando and Oscar pit for Softs again. After the restart, Oscar retains P1 and Lando P2 until the Chequered Flag.

It was a good, fun race, and for us to end this triple-header with a one-two is even better. Congrats to Oscar, he drove a very good race today. I didn’t quite have the pace to match his, but we gave it our best shot. It’s a long race, and anything could have happened in the end. We were under pressure with the Safety Car restart, but we managed it really well and kept our position. I’m happy to go back home with good points for the team.

I’m really happy to have won today. It was a great weekend overall. The pace was really good. We could turn it on when needed. It’s been a great year so far, and this weekend’s been exactly the kind of weekend I was looking for. We executed everything we needed to when it counted, and that’s all you can ask for. The team gave me a great car once again, and I’m very proud of the work we’ve done. There was a lot of support in the grandstands, so thank you to the crowd for being there. We couldn’t have ended the triple header any better as a team.

Andrea Stella, Team Principal, McLaren Racing

We conclude this European triple-header with a strong performance in Barcelona, further confirming the MCL39’s competitiveness. Throughout the weekend, both drivers and the team were able to extract a very high level of performance from the car, which enabled us to secure this one-two today, our third of the season. The team executed the strategy and the pit stops well, making what could have been quite a tense race very smooth. We now head back to Woking to regroup and prepare for our trip to Canada in two weeks’ time.
