McLaren secures its 10th crown at the Singapore Grand Prix and confirms its place in Formula 1 history.
Under the bright lights of Marina Bay, McLaren confirmed its dominance by clinching its tenth constructors’ title. This historic achievement reinforces the British team’s status as one of the most legendary names in F1. With six races still to go, Woking can proudly celebrate an exceptional milestone.
How did McLaren secure its 10th crown in Singapore?
From the very start of the Grand Prix, McLaren controlled the race to lock in the points needed for the championship. Lando Norris crossed the line in third place while Oscar Piastri finished fourth. These results were enough to seal the constructors’ title and give the team its tenth official championship. The race strategy, combined with the drivers’ remarkable consistency, confirmed the technical superiority of the papaya-colored car.
This victory also marks McLaren’s first successful title defense since 1991. Beyond achieving its 10th crown, McLaren dominated the 2025 season. The team collected twelve wins as well as several 1–2 finishes. Team principal Andrea Stella praised the collective effort as the key to success, while CEO Zak Brown highlighted the dedication of every team member, from the factory to the track, as a decisive factor in the team’s triumph.
Why is this title historic for McLaren?
With ten constructors’ titles, McLaren joins Ferrari in the pantheon of legendary teams. The Scuderia still leads with sixteen championships, but Woking now surpasses Williams, which holds nine. This tenth title solidifies McLaren’s reputation as the most consistent team after Ferrari in the history of Formula 1.
Both individual and collective records have defined McLaren’s journey. With its current car, the team has now reached 201 race victories, placing it far ahead of Mercedes and second only to Ferrari. This milestone underlines the team’s technical excellence and the stability of its driver lineup. Now, McLaren’s focus shifts toward the upcoming 2026 regulation overhaul. The aim is to maintain its leadership in the new era of Formula 1.
What lessons can McLaren take for the rest of the season?
Even after this well-deserved 10th crown, McLaren must continue to manage internal rivalries. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have shown strong chemistry despite a few on-track clashes, especially in Singapore. Their team harmony will be essential to turn this collective achievement into individual victories.
The upcoming Grands Prix will be a chance to increase their win count and maintain momentum. The drivers’ championship remains wide open, but the experience gained this season should help the British team chase both titles. With its stability and expertise, McLaren, after this historic 10th crown, enters a new chapter, ready to challenge F1’s most iconic leaders.
