Bahrain glowed papaya orange in celebration of McLaren<\/a> clinching the 2025 constructors\u2019 championship at the Singapore Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

McLaren became unbeatable this season after Lando Norris<\/a> and Oscar Piastri<\/a> finished the race at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in third and fourth, respectively.<\/p>\n

Bahrain\u2019s Mumtalakat and Abu Dhabi\u2019s CYVN Holdings took full ownership of McLaren Racing in September 2025 after buying out US investment group MSP Sports Capital\u2019s 33% share. At the time of MSP Capital\u2019s investment five years ago, McLaren Racing was valued at \u00a3560million and the latest transaction values the racing arm of the company at approximately \u00a33.5billion.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great day for McLaren. It has been an amazing quest to get back to where we are,\u201d McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown told BBC Sport<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t long ago our business was extremely challenged and we weren’t competitive. So, five years later, this underlines the success F1 is having in the cost-cap era and has enabled us to be competitive. It’s great to have McLaren back at the front again and great to have a simplified ownership structure.”<\/p>\n

With six grands prix and three sprint races remaining in the 2025 season, McLaren has amassed an unassailable 650 points. But while the Woking outfit has swiftly wrapped up the constructors\u2019 title, the fight for the drivers\u2019 championship is heating up between Piastri and Norris.<\/p>\n

22 points separate the two drivers after the Singapore Grand Prix and four-time champion Max Verstappen<\/a>, who currently sits third, cannot be counted out of the battle yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the second year in a row, McLaren are the constructors\u2019 champions, an incredible feeling to end a very competitive weekend in Singapore!” team principal Andrea Stella explained after the race. “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.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 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\u2019ve seen on many occasions this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank 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\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
