McLaren has officially secured consecutive Formula 1 constructors’ championships in a record-matching performance, sealing the title with six races left in the 2025 season, a feat equaled only by Red Bull. The team’s dominance throughout the season was evident as they entered the Singapore Grand Prix with a commanding 333-point lead over Mercedes. Requiring just 13 points to secure the championship, McLaren’s position seemed unassailable, with a single podium finish ensuring their title win.
During the Grand Prix, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, starting in third place, outperformed his teammate Lando Norris, with a contentious on-track maneuver resulting in minor contact between the two cars. Despite this incident, Norris managed to finish third, one spot ahead of Piastri, accumulating a total of 27 points for McLaren, effectively securing the championship ahead of Mercedes. Meanwhile, George Russell claimed victory from pole position, and Kimi Antonelli delivered a strong performance to finish fifth.
Following the race, Norris expressed his elation over the team radio, acknowledging McLaren’s collective effort and dedication. This victory marks McLaren’s 10th constructors’ championship in F1 history, propelling them to second place on the all-time list, surpassing Williams’ nine titles. Ferrari remains the most successful team in the World Championship era with 17 titles to their name.
McLaren, the defending champions from the 2024 season, clinched their latest championship triumph swiftly, contrasting with their long wait for success since 1999. Team principal Andrea Stella, reflecting on McLaren’s dominant season, highlighted the team’s realization of their car’s competitiveness early on, emphasizing the importance of focus and maximizing their potential.
Looking ahead, McLaren aims to challenge the all-time points record set by Red Bull in 2023, though Stella stresses the team’s focus on each race individually rather than fixating on records.
