“It was a tough race. I gave it my all and got close, but Max didn’t make any mistakes today. There were a few moments where we were side-by-side and had a good battle. I would’ve loved to get by and put some pressure on George, but the opportunities were so limited around this circuit.

“I’m happy with the result though, the car was fast, and we’ve won the Constructors’ Championship for the second year in a row. Huge congratulations to everyone in the team who has played their part in achieving this remarkable success, they’ve done an incredible job, and we’ve achieved this together. We’ll make sure we celebrate this properly as a team and then get straight back to work for the rest of the season.”

The Champions Collection!

Andrea Stella

“For the second year in a row, McLaren are the Constructors’ Champions, an incredible feeling to end a very competitive weekend in Singapore! Last year, it went all the way to the final lap of the final race, so to be able to secure the title with six races to go in the 2025 season is an unbelievable effort from the entire team.

“Our race pace was strong today against our closest competitors, although it was hard to take advantage in the dirty air. Both Lando and Oscar demonstrated their exceptional talent to secure an important result for the team, as we’ve seen on many occasions this season.

“Thank you to everyone in the team, both trackside and in Woking, for their incredible effort. We can all be very proud of this achievement, the first back-to-back Constructors’ Championship for McLaren since 1991. Thank you to our PU supplier HPP, our valuable technical and commercial partners and of course, our loyal papaya fans. It’s great that our teamwork is rewarded like this, but we must enjoy the moment this evening and then turn our attention to preparing for a competitive challenge in the final six races of the season.”
