Ferrari's closest competitors picked out of the crowd for 2025 F1 season
Mercedes, who Hamilton has left behind after their legendary stint together, have been ignored as predictions fly in for the 2025 Formula 1 campaign.Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are the pairing who will rival Hamilton and Charles Leclerc most closely, according to our experts.“They have got a nice, balanced pairing. Lando, despite the criticism he received, his performance and pace was at a championship-winning level,” Connor McDonagh told the Crash F1 podcast.
“McLaren’s car is the most balanced, Ferrari’s is better on longer straights and 90-degree corners. McLaren have the edge.Lewis Larkam said: “McLaren have to go into the season as early favourites based on how they ended last season. “The key thing is the driver line-ups. McLaren have a strong line-up, Ferrari already had that but it’s stronger now.
“Kimi Antonelli has proven to be very quick but Mercedes have said themselves that they expect him to make mistakes.“On the flip side, when he gets it right, it will be pretty special.
