McLaren has officially secured consecutive Formula 1 constructors’ championships, matching the record set by Red Bull with six races remaining in the 2025 season. Dominating much of the season, McLaren entered the Singapore Grand Prix with a comfortable 333-point lead over Mercedes. With just 13 points needed to seal the title, the team only required one driver to finish on the podium.
During the Grand Prix, Lando Norris, outperforming his teammate Oscar Piastri, secured a third-place finish after a controversial on-track moment that resulted in minor contact between the two McLaren cars. This finish, combined with Piastri’s fourth-place result, earned McLaren 27 crucial points, ensuring Mercedes could not catch up.
Despite George Russell’s victory and Kimi Antonelli’s strong fifth-place finish, McLaren’s success was celebrated by Norris over the team radio. This victory marked McLaren’s 10th constructors’ championship in F1 history, positioning them as the second most successful team after Ferrari.
Andrea Stella, McLaren’s team principal, expressed a different sentiment compared to their 2024 win, stating that this season’s triumph was more about maintaining focus and maximizing their competitive potential. Looking ahead, McLaren aims to challenge the all-time points record, although Stella emphasizes the team’s focus on taking it one race at a time without getting ahead of themselves.
