How McLaren can clinch earliest ever F1 constructors’ title at Azerbaijan GP
McLaren has the opportunity to secure the 2025 F1 world constructors’ championship early at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix this weekend. The team is well positioned to win consecutive titles and is likely to be crowned champions for the 10th time in 2025. Arriving in Baku with a significant 337-point lead over Ferrari, McLaren could defend their crown with eight races remaining if they leave Baku 346 points clear of Ferrari. A McLaren 1-2 finish in Baku would ensure their championship victory. With various scenarios in play, McLaren needs to outscore Ferrari by nine points and steer clear of Mercedes and Red Bull by significant margins to clinch the title. McLaren are also eyeing a chance to break the record for the most points in a single season and surpass Red Bull’s previous achievements in the championship. In the drivers’ standings, Oscar Piastri currently leads teammate Lando Norris by 31 points.
