McLaren are on course to destroy the record for most podiums by a team in a single season, with 10 grands prix still remaining in the current campaign.

The Woking-based outfit has dominated the 2025 F1 season, to the extent that McLaren already has a 299-point advantage in the constructors' championship over Ferrari. 

A one-two in the drivers' title is also boasted by the British outfit, where Oscar Piastri has a narrow nine-point lead over Lando Norris. The next nearest driver is Max Verstappen, although the four-time world champion is a staggering 97 points adrift.

From the 14 completed rounds, Piastri and Norris have both secured 12 podiums each, already putting McLaren on 24 rostrums for the season with 10 rounds remaining. 

Despite several rounds remaining, McLaren already sit 15th on the list for most podiums in one season. Mercedes' 33 podiums in the 2016 campaign is the benchmark, one McLaren looks set to comfortably beat. 

Just 10 podiums are needed between Piastri and Norris across the final rounds to eclipse Mercedes' record and steal the top spot, something it could achieve as soon as the United States Grand Prix.

Mercedes holds the top four spots, all from seasons during its period of complete dominance.
