In winning the 2024 F1 constructors' championship, McLaren have matched a 25-year record set at the start of the Michael Schumacher-Ferrari dynasty.
Lando Norris's win to seal the title in Abu Dhabi was McLaren's sixth of the season, making it the team with the fewest wins in a title-winning season since Ferrari's 1999 success.
The 666 points hauled by Norris and Oscar Piastri also represented a 58.12% return, the least since Red Bull picked up 53.49% of the points on offer in 2012.
The title was McLaren's ninth overall, drawing it one clear of Williams and Mercedes and into outright second, only now behind Ferrari's tally of 16.
Incidentally, the Scuderia is the team to have won the constructors' with the fewest wins in a season, picking up only three wins on their way to the 1964 and 1982 crowns.
That 1982 success had the statistically lowest number of points earned with only 30.83% of those available scored by Didier Pironi, Patrick Tambay, Mario Andretti and the late Gilles Villeneuve.
In terms of the most successful teams, Red Bull's 21 wins from 22 races in 2023 is the most a team has earned, with four teams, Vanwall (1958), Cooper (1959, 1960), Ferrari (1961) and Lotus (1963, 1965) all officially scoring 100% of points available due to only a certain number of best results counting for the championship.
In times of non-dropped scores, Mercedes' 86.05% in 2015 is the highest percentage of points scored.
