Mika Hakkinen’s incredible McLaren F1 prediction revisited after latest title triumph
McLaren have secured back-to-back F1 constructors’ titles for the first time since the 1990s, wrapping up the 2025 crown with six races to go at the Singapore Grand Prix with Lando Norris finishing third.
Despite the focus shifting to the drivers’ championship battle between Norris and Oscar Piastri, McLaren’s achievement is remarkable, especially when considering their struggles in the past.
Just eight years ago, McLaren was languishing in ninth place with a mere 30 points, facing what seemed like an insurmountable road to recovery.
However, a bold prediction from McLaren legend Mika Hakkinen in 2023 about McLaren’s future success ultimately proved to be accurate, leading them to challenge Red Bull and return as a front-runner.
Hakkinen’s foresight and determination paid off as McLaren’s impressive performance in 2024 and further upgrades in 2025 solidified their status as F1’s dominant force, validating his prediction as one of the greatest in sports history.
