2025 Season

Lando Norris secured the Drivers’ Championship, driving for McLaren, in a season that featured 24 Grands Prix. McLaren also claimed the Constructors’ Championship, amassing 833 points and 14 race victories, with Norris and teammate Oscar Piastri each winning seven races. The season was marked by a highly competitive title battle, particularly between Norris, Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing), and Piastri.

The championship narrative was defined by shifting momentum. Early in the season, Piastri led the standings, holding a maximum advantage of 34 points after round 15. Norris gradually closed the gap, overtaking Piastri after round 20 by a single point. Verstappen, who won eight races—the most of any driver—mounted a late-season charge, bringing himself into contention in the final rounds. Heading into the last race, Norris led Verstappen by just 12 points, and ultimately clinched the title by a narrow 2-point margin (423 to 421), with Piastri finishing third on 410 points.

Four different drivers won races, and six sprint weekends were held. McLaren’s 14 wins marked a dominant performance in the Constructors’ standings, finishing 364 points clear of Mercedes. The season did not feature any explicit record-breaking achievements based on the available data, but the close points finish between the top three drivers and the high number of podiums for Norris (18) and Piastri (16) were notable.

The 2025 season stands out for its intense, multi-driver title fight and McLaren’s strong performance in the ongoing regulation era.
