F1: Oscar Piastri, in Mika Häkkinen’s wake

McLaren did not have such a winner since the time of the Finn, which was completed with a title of pilots and builders.

McLaren is one of the most important and laureate teams in Formula 1. It is the second with the most victories in history (194, against Ferrari’s 248), in 2024 he added his ninth crown of builders and was accustomed to fighting for triumphs. But the time of drought came, long drought. He spent nine years without celebrating a triumph (from the 2012 Brazil GP to Italy 2021) and in the 20s he achieved a dozen successes, 11 between 2024 and 2025. In the current exercise, those of Woking won in five of the six played races and began to match brands that it did not get since the last century.

Since 1998 McLaren did not win five of the first six races. At that start There were four successes of Mika Häkkinen and one from David Coulhard. Precisely in that 1998 the last time an McLaren pilot was achieved four celebrations in the first half dozen competitions. A fact: the Finn was champion at the close of that season (he was the first of the two titles he would get).

This last data can greatly excite Oscar Piastri, who won won four of the first six and those of Woking add that of Lando Norris in Australia to reach five in six played. Memories of domain times such as the current ones.
