McLaren’s 2025 season is proving to be one of the most successful of all time and has set up a first chance for the team to wrap up their landmark 10th Constructors\u2019 Championship at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on September 21.<\/p>\n

Amid Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris’ exclusive duel for the Drivers’ Championship, it has been a matter of when, and not if, McLaren will retain the Constructors’ Championship they won for the first time in 26 years last season from very early on in this campaign.<\/p>\n

Although they suffered a rare race-day defeat in 2025 to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen last time out at the Italian Grand Prix, Norris and Piastri’s latest double podium saw the team further increase their already-mammoth constructors’ lead to 337 points over second-placed Ferrari <\/strong>with eight rounds left.<\/p>\n

There are now only a maximum of 389 points remaining for a team to score this season heading to Azerbaijan and only 346 points will be left after the Baku weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

McLaren’s huge post-Monza lead has therefore opened up a first opportunity for them to wrap up the Constructors’ Championship as early as the next event.<\/p>\n

To do so, McLaren must be 346 points ahead of the second-placed team in the standings<\/strong> by the end of the 51-lap race.<\/p>\n

That will happen in Baku IF they:<\/strong><\/p>\n
