For the second time this season, McLaren has a chance to win the 2025 F1 constructors' championship - this time in the Singapore Grand Prix.
After fluffing their lines in Azerbaijan, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris have a second chance to win the title at Marina Bay, with it being a near certainty that McLaren will be crowned for the 10th time.
As it stands, with seven rounds remaining of the season, including three Sprints, there is a total of 346 points remaining if a team were to score a maximum haul.
Mercedes moved into second place in Baku, and is on 290 points - 333 points behind - and Ferrari is on 286 points, 337 points behind McLaren.
It means the maximum number of points Mercedes can achieve is 636, putting McLaren just 13 points away from winning the title.
It means that if Piastri or Norris even score a podium finish between them, the minimum number of points McLaren will move to will be 638, placing it out of reach of Mercedes and Ferrari.
Despite winning in Baku, Red Bull was eliminated from the race to win the constructors'.
In qualifying in Singapore, Piastri secured third on the grid, with Norris fifth - more than enough to secure the title for the Woking team if they finish where they started, despite George Russell being on pole for Mercedes and Kimi Antonelli fourth.
