McLaren can clinch a first F1 constructors' championship since 1998 in the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix - if it out-scores Ferrari by 15 points.
The Woking squad head into round 23 of 24 holding a 30-point buffer over Ferrari, knowing that it can win its first constructors' since Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard delivered the crown in the Adrian Newey-designed MP4-13.
It would be the first time in the lifetime of either Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri that the team has won the constructors' - with it being their ninth, equalling Williams and drawing one clear of Mercedes.
Norris starts in third with Piastri fourth ahead of Charles Leclerc in fifth and Carlos Sainz in seventh, with Lewis Hamilton sixth.
There was a change on the front-row after Max Verstappen was stripped of pole by the stewards for impeding George Russell, meaning the two swap positions with the Mercedes on pole for a second straight race.
But who will take the flag first and can McLaren end its long wait for the a constructors' title?
