McLaren have sealed this season’s F1 constructors’ title with Lando Norris’s podium in Singapore.
The papaya, who won their first teams’ title in 26 years last season at the final race in Abu Dhabi, have been the dominant team in 2025 and have won the constructors’ trophy with six races left.
A podium from either Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri would seal the crown in Singapore on Sunday, with the Brit finishing third and the Australian in fourth.
Tensions were high, however, with Piastri angry at Norris’ first-lap overtake, with the Australian insisting it “wasn’t fair.”
The gap between the two drivers is now 22 points in the drivers’ championship, with McLaren CEO Zak Brown and team principal Andrea Stella keen to keep team orders at a minimum in the closing stages of the season.
Brown will now be tasked with managing the fallout between his two stars ahead of the United States Grand Prix in Austin on 19 October.
Norris, asked about his lap one contact with Piastri, told Sky Sports: “It’s racing. I put it on the inside. Nothing more than good racing.”
He added: “It was a tough race. I gave it my all. I got close to Max. A few chances. But it is difficult to overtake.”
Brown said: “”They have driven brilliantly all season. Two awesome racing drivers. As you can see we are letting them race. Bit of a nail biter there.”
