Breaking News: FIA summon Piastri’s McLaren at Chinese Grand Prix for….readmore 

Oscar Piastri’s McLaren car has been called to a hearing by the FIA ahead of the upcoming Chinese Grand Prix, alongside two other competitors. This development comes after McLaren’s impressive performance in the opening race of the 2025 season.
McLaren had an exceptional start to the season, with Lando Norris securing a victory in the previous race. The win was a significant achievement for the team, as they look to defend their constructors’ title, which they won for the first time in 27 years in 2024. Norris’s victory added momentum to McLaren’s push for further success in the ongoing season.
However, Piastri’s race did not go as smoothly. Despite showing competitive pace early on, he struggled with the changing weather conditions during the race. The Australian driver ultimately finished in ninth place after sliding off the track during a wet period. Although Piastri had been in a strong position earlier, the evolving weather and the deployment of safety cars mixed up the race order, erasing his earlier advantage. Prior to the safety car period, Piastri and Norris had built a substantial 16-second gap to Max Verstappen in third place, showing McLaren’s potential in the season opener.
The FIA’s decision to summon Piastri’s McLaren car ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix has sparked attention, as the reasons for the summons have not yet been publicly disclosed. It adds an extra layer of intrigue to the race, as teams prepare for the challenges that the Shanghai circuit presents. The summons also raises questions about the performance of the car and whether there are any technical or regulatory issues that need to be addressed.
As the defending constructors’ champions, McLaren’s performance in the Chinese Grand Prix will be under scrutiny, with both Norris and Piastri looking to capitalize on the early-season momentum. The team’s strong performance in the first race suggests they are a serious contender for both the drivers’ and constructors’ titles in 2025.
The Chinese Grand Prix is expected to be another critical event in determining the trajectory of the season, and McLaren’s ability to handle both the competitive pressures and any potential issues with the FIA summons will play a key role in their title defense efforts.
