This year's dominant performance builds on the foundation of their 2024 championship, which was clinched at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. That title was a landmark achievement for McLaren as they won after 26 years. This validated the team's significant restructuring under CEO Zak Brown and Team Principal Andrea Stella.

The Singapore race itself was a snapshot of McLaren's season, with teammates Norris and Piastri battling for the lead at the very start. Norris ultimately made a decisive move on Piastri, showcasing the team's policy of letting its two title-contending drivers race freely.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown commented on the strength of his drivers: "They have driven brilliantly all season, you can't win without two awesome racing drivers. We are letting them race and as you could see, that was a nail-biter out there."

Team Principal Andrea Stella highlighted the work behind the scenes and the team's focus on the future. "It is an incredible emotion and I want to share it with the team for their incredible work," he said. "We are working very hard to continue this streak of wins into the future with the changes in technical regulations. We are 'all in' for it."

Lando Norris, who expressed both exhaustion and pride after the race, shared his feelings: "Ah, sh*t, I'm pretty tired, man. But who cares? We all won another world championship for McLaren. Congratulations, everyone. You all worked so hard. I'm so proud to be part of it all."

Over his team radio, Norris added: "Feels weird to say this early. I love you all. I'm so proud of you all. It's been a pleasure to be part of this journey once again. Two years in a row. We are the best in the world. Congratulations."

"Yeah, well done, Zak. Well done, Andrea. Thank you. Thank you for making it easier for us at times. Very happy to say that. And to all the boys and girls back at the factory, who can't celebrate it here...we might do a little bit tonight. Enjoy a glass." Norris continued.

With the constructors' trophy secured, the team and the fans now turn their full attention to the intense battle between Norris and Piastri for the World Drivers' Championship.
