McLaren have an astonishing F1 landmark within its grasp – but can Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris deliver?
Heading into the second half of the 2025 F1 season, McLaren is close to making history with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris’s outstanding performance.
With 11 wins, 24 podiums, and 559 points from 14 races, they are on track to win the constructors’ title in just three more races in Azerbaijan.
The team has a strong chance of becoming the first F1 team to score 1,000 points in a single season due to their dominant MCL39 performance.
To achieve this milestone, McLaren must secure 441 more points by the end of the season, requiring Piastri and Norris not to drop more than 34 points.
Although they’ve been consistently strong, McLaren will need to maintain their performance across the remaining 10 races, including three Sprints, to reach the 1,000-point mark.
If they fall short, McLaren can still aim to surpass Red Bull’s all-time record of 860 points set in 2023 by securing 302 points from the upcoming races. Let us know your thoughts on McLaren’s chances in the comments and by voting in the poll!
