As of Sunday night in Singapore, there’s now a 10th laurel-wreath decal on the McLaren Technology Centre’s Wall of Fame: 2025 joins 1974, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998 and, of course, 2024.

Secured at Round 18 of 24 - a satisfyingly divisible fraction - it leaves a full quarter of the season still to go, something that will no doubt please those at the MTC with a penchant for numbers (which is most people at the MTC).

So how did we get here? These are the stats, facts, and figures that tell the story of our Constructors’ Championship-winning season so far…

650: Points scored

Following the Singapore Grand Prix, we have 650 points – exactly double the number of the team in second place, Mercedes. There are 303 remaining across the rest of the Championship. Our biggest margin of the season to date came after Monza, when we were 337 points clear of the field.

301: Days

…between winning the Constructors’ Championship in Abu Dhabi, on the final day of the 2024 season, to taking the 2025 title with third and fourth place in Singapore. It’s a little less edge-of-the-seat this year, which is very welcome.

18 Grands Prix raced (plus three Sprints)

We’ve raced in four continents and 17 countries (including a City-State and a Principality).

14,867: Parts made for our MCL39A wind tunnel model

Despite the impending demands of new regulations for 2026, we haven’t skimped on developing 2025’s car, the MCL39. We use 60 per cent scale model in the wind tunnel, and it has been evolving at pace, with 2,461 parts machined from metal and 12,406 created with additive manufacturing (3D printing).

253,990: Parts made for the MCL39A so far

This is… a lot of parts. In-house, we’ve made 68,748 metal parts and 64,953 composite parts, while our brilliant supply chain has delivered a further 120,289 parts.

Nine: Pole positions

Lando got us off to a great start with Pole in Australia. He was also on Pole in Monaco, Austria and Belgium. Oscar has been on Pole in China, Bahrain, Emilia-Romagna, Spain and the Netherlands.

11: Fastest Laps

Australia, China, Saudi Arabia, Miami, Monaco and Italy for Lando. Bahrain, Spain, Austria, Great Britain and the Netherlands for Oscar.

12: Grand Prix victories

Seven for Oscar, five for Lando. Lando has won in Australia, Monaco, Austria, Great Britain, and Hungary. Oscar has won in China, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Miami, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Three of Lando’s victories have come from Pole, four of Oscars. Our record is 15… and it’s definitely in our sights.

28: Podiums

Alongside the 12 victories, McLaren drivers have taken 10 second places and six third places. This is already a McLaren record, beating the 25 podiums managed in 1988 with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in the all-conquering MP4/4, the 24 scored in 2007, and the 22 claimed in 2000. Last year’s tally was 21.

Zero: Power unit failures

Massive shout-out to Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains. Once again, they built us a bullet-proof power unit. The Mercedes-AMG F1 M16 E Performance hasn’t let us down once across 36 races. It runs like a sewing machine. If a sewing machine had a power output somewhere north of 1000hp and could hem at 365km/h.

353.1km/h: The highest speed achieved in a race, at Monza

This was Oscar through the speed trap on the start-finish straight. We may go faster in Las Vegas, we’ll probably go faster in the thin air of Mexico City.

68 terabytes: Data transferred from the garage back to the MTC

We often say we’re a data-driven organisation – and the 68 trillion bytes that have been transferred from the trackside team back to their colleagues in Mission Control so far this season is the tip of that particular spear. Our garage contains around 1km of cabling, and our IT tower, which is the hub of the operation, weighs almost a tonne (980kg at the moment). We’re currently running around 150 virtual machines for the trackside team, spread across four Dell VxRail servers, and have around 330TB of trackside storage. You can never have too much data!

Three: Fastest pit stops

To date, we’ve taken top spot at the Red Bull Ring (2.10s), the Hungaroring (1.94s) and Monza (1.91s). The latter, for Oscar, is the fastest stop of the season to date. There have only been four sub-2s stops this year, and we’ve done three of them.

Two: Driver of the Day awards

Twice this year, McLaren’s drivers have been named Salesforce Driver of the Day, awarded by F1 fans. Lando in Melbourne, Oscar in Miami…

One: Grands Chelem

Oscar had the first perfect weekend of his career at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix, taking Pole, Fastest Lap, and victory, while leading every lap of the race. He only needs to do it another seven times to match the mighty Jim Clark.

One: Sprint Victories

Lando won the Miami Sprint… but we have three more chances in the final six races.

Four: Front-row lockouts

McLaren have started 1-2 in Australia, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands, and are just one away from our 70th in total.

Seven: 1-2 finishes

Our highest number since 1998. In China, Miami, Spain, Austria, Great Britain, Belgium, and Hungary, we’ve departed the track with a perfect score.

15.499 seconds: The biggest victory margin this year

Oscar finished 15.499 seconds ahead of George Russell at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Meanwhile, our closest finish was Lando coming across the line in Hungary, 0.698 seconds ahead of Oscar.

58: Points scored at the Miami Grand Prix

We scored maximum points in Miami, with first and second in the Sprint, followed by first and second in the Grand Prix. This is the first and only time anyone has managed a perfect Sprint weekend since the format was introduced in 2021. We also managed 51 and 56 points at the Sprint weekends in China and Belgium, with 1-2 race results in each, suggesting we’re very good on weekends with just one practice session.

36: Appearances in Q3

The drivers have enjoyed a clean sweep in Qualifying, both making it through to Q3 in every race.

2099: Laps raced in 2025

We’ve raced more laps than any other team, eight more than Ferrari, who are second with 2091. Lando has raced slightly more laps, with 1069, to Oscar’s 1030.

10,579km: Kilometres raced in 2025

Lando has raced 5,417km, Oscar 5,162km. We’re actually behind Ferrari on this one: they’ve done 10,634km.

15: Races led in 2025

Lando has led 10 races for at least one lap, Oscar has led 12. The only races led by neither driver are Japan, Emilia-Romagna, and Azerbaijan.

635: Laps led in 2025

Lando has led 241 laps in 2025, Oscar has led 394. This translates into 1,111km in front for Lando and 2,076km for Oscar. Oscar is number one on the season list, Lando is third, behind Max Verstappen.

5,051: Total laps in 2025

There is, of course, a lot more track running than just that done on a Sunday, and we’re leading the way at the moment, a few laps ahead of Ferrari. So far this year, Lando has recorded 2516 laps across practice, Qualifying and Sprints, while Oscar has done 2,480 laps. The eagle-eyed will note those numbers don’t add up. This is because Alex Dunne sat in for FP1 sessions at the Red Bull Ring and Monza, completing 55 very fine laps of his own.

25,492km: Total Kilometres in 2025

Lando is top of the table with 12,727km, Oscar is fifth with 12,488km, and Alex has done 277km.

56: Pit stops in 2025

Both drivers have made 28 pit stops so far this year. The maximum number in a race has been three, with both drivers in Spain running a Soft>Medium>Soft>Soft strategy in a race interrupted by a late Safety Car, which resulted in an unscheduled stop.

92: Number of tyre sets raced

The drivers have each raced 46 sets of tyres. Between them, they have used 10 sets of Intermediates, three sets of C1s, 14 sets of C2s, 28 sets of C3s, 27 sets of C4 and 10 sets of C5s. They have fitted neither a full Wet, nor a C6 compound during a race in 2025.

C4: Most popular tyre by laps/distance

While the C3 is the most popular tyre by the number of stints, the C4 has done a greater number of laps, with 680 vs 590 and 3,198km vs 2,994km. When broken down by weekend allocation, the C4, when fitted as the Medium compound, is the most common choice, used for 14 stints. It has been used for 13 stints as the Hard compound.

C6 / Wet: Least popular tyre

We haven’t done a single stint on the Wet tyre this year, or on the softest C6 compound, which won’t be back in the final quarter of the season. Despite the C4 being our most popular tyre for distance, we haven’t raced it when it’s been allocated as the Soft tyre, despite that being the case at four races so far. It’s got two more chances to get on the score sheet…

Two: major milestones reached

Our 1-2 in China was our 50th 1-2, while Lando’s victory in Hungary was McLaren's 200th victory. 

Immeasurable: The amount of fun we’ve had doing all of this
