McLaren has officially secured consecutive Formula 1 constructors’ championships, matching a record set by Red Bull with six races left in the 2025 season. Dominating the season, McLaren entered the Singapore Grand Prix with a commanding 333-point lead over Mercedes. Securing just 13 points would have been sufficient to guarantee their victory, requiring only one driver to reach the podium.
During the Grand Prix, McLaren’s Lando Norris surpassed teammate Oscar Piastri, finishing third while Piastri took fourth place. This combined effort earned McLaren 27 points, ensuring they cannot be caught by Mercedes. Despite George Russell’s victory and Kimi Antonelli’s strong performance, McLaren’s consistent performance led them to success.
After the race, Norris celebrated McLaren’s 10th constructors’ championship over the radio, praising the team’s hard work and expressing pride in their achievement. McLaren now sits second on the all-time list of F1 constructors’ championship wins, surpassing Williams’ nine titles. Ferrari remains the most successful team in the World Championship era with 17 titles.
McLaren, the defending champions from the 2024 season, clinched their latest victory without the long wait experienced after their 1999 success. Team principal Andrea Stella, contrasting the emotions of the 2024 win, highlighted the team’s early realization of their competitive edge in the 2025 season. Looking ahead, McLaren aims to maintain their focus and maximize their potential in each race.
