I’ll be very surprised if they are within championship contention in ‘25.
Looking early at the new ‘26 regs might be a good idea though
If things go according to plan for McLaren then I expect they might be in with a chance of getting close to fighting for the championships or be not far behind the top 3 teams. The aerodynamics for 2026 haven't yet been finalised last time I looked. I expect all the teams are looking at '26 in terms of the aerodynamics and the engine regulation changes. I think that's what James Allison was working on for Mercedes until recently.
look at how close teams are now, with stable regulations for the next 2 years I expect the gap to keep closing, so by 2025 perhaps we could have a real title fight between half the grid, with driver ability playing a key part
