Barring the near-impossible, McLaren will defend its F1 constructors' championship in 2025. The Woking-based team can win the 2025 F1 title as early as Baku - as long as a few results go its way

    • McLaren is 337 points clear of Ferrari, 357 clear of Mercedes, 378 clear of Red Bull.

    • After the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, there will be a maximum of 346 points available by finishing first and second in every race, including the three sprint rounds.

    • McLaren must score nine more points in Baku than Ferrari to win the title directly after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, while maintaining its current leads over Mercedes and Red Bull.

    • In that scenario, McLaren can afford to be outscored by Mercedes by no more than 11 points, or by Red Bull by 32 points, in Baku.

    • If McLaren gets at least win and a third place in Azerbaijan, it will win the constructors’ title no matter what.
