IN NUMBERS: The key stats behind McLaren’s back-to-back Teams’ Championship wins

McLaren confirmed what was on the cards since the early stages of the 2025 season by securing the Teams’ Championship at the Singapore Grand Prix – the Woking-based squad having been the class of the field this year. With the dust settling on the Marina Bay weekend, F1.com presents the key statistics behind their achievement…

McLaren’s latest title triumph moves them up to second in the all-time F1 list for Teams’ Championships won, ahead of rivals Williams on nine. Ferrari remain in the lead with their haul of 16 titles.

McLaren sealed the deal with six Grand Prix weekends (and three Sprint events) still to come, meaning they have tied Red Bull Racing’s 2023 record for the earliest championship win in F1 history.

-- 7 --

McLaren’s MCL39 improved on an already competitive predecessor, helping Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris deliver seven 1-2 finishes across the 18 Grands Prix held so far – their highest tally since a particularly dominant 1988 season.

It has also led to Piastri and Norris claiming pole position for half of the Grands Prix staged up to now – the Australian edging that head-to-head with five poles to the Briton’s four.

-- 10 --

McLaren have now won 10 Teams’ Championships since arriving in F1 in the mid-1960s.

Emerson Fittipaldi and Denny Hulme combined for their first in 1974, with Niki Lauda and Alain Prost, Prost and Ayrton Senna, Senna and Gerhard Berger, and Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard all following across the 1980s and 1990s.

Piastri and Norris wrote their own chapter of McLaren success in 2024 and backed it up with an even more impressive 2025 display.

-- 12 --

Building on their pole positions and 1-2 finishes, McLaren’s current drivers have combined to score 12 Grand Prix victories so far this season – Piastri again edging that record by seven wins to five.

That gives McLaren their highest number of wins in an F1 campaign since 1988, when they won 15 out of 16 races with Senna and Prost at the wheel.

-- 28 --

One area in which Piastri and Norris cannot be split is their podium return, with both drivers contributing 14 rostrum results between Australia and Singapore.

-- 34 --

As touched on above, McLaren made history last season by winning their first Teams’ Championship since 1998, and they added the icing to the cake in 2025 by going back-to-back for the first time since the early-1990s.

McLaren’s last back-to-back came during their Honda-powered glory years, when Senna and Prost delivered both championships in 1989, followed by the Brazilian and Berger through the 1990 and 1991 campaigns.

-- 650 --

Such has been McLaren’s dominance in 2025, they left the Marina Bay Circuit with 650 points to their name – precisely double the number scored by nearest rivals Mercedes so far.
