TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Singapore Grand Prix delivered a mix of triumph and tension for McLaren. The team secured their 10th Constructors’ Championship title, but the celebration was somewhat overshadowed by a notable clash between teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris on the opening lap.
The incident saw Norris finish third and Piastri finish fourth, which cut into Piastri's lead in the battle for his maiden Formula One World Championship. The Australian now maintains a 22-point advantage over Norris with six rounds remaining in the 2025 season. This narrow gap promises an intense fight over the final races, starting with the US Grand Prix in Austin on October 19, according to a report by The Standard.
Other drivers, like Max Verstappen, remain mathematically in contention. After winning at Monza and Baku, the Red Bull driver now holds third place in the standings with 273 points. However, a 63-point gap to Piastri means securing his fifth world title this season is highly unlikely.
Meanwhile, George Russell delivered a dominant victory at the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix, leading comfortably for all 62 laps. As reported by ON SI, the win marked a career milestone for the Mercedes driver, especially after his heartbreaking crash on the final lap of the 2023 Singapore GP while running in a podium position.
F1 Driver Standings After Singapore GP
Oscar Piastri (McLaren) – 336 points
Lando Norris (McLaren) – 314 points
Max Verstappen (Red Bull) – 273 points
George Russell (Mercedes) – 237 points
Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) – 173 points
Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) - 125 points
Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) - 88 points
Alex Albon (Williams) - 70 points
Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) - 39 points
Nico Hulkenberg (Sauber) - 37 points
While the Drivers’ Championship battle remains fierce, McLaren has little to worry about in the Constructors’ standings. With 650 points, precisely double the total of their nearest rival, Mercedes, the team has guaranteed the title with six races to spare.
The fight for second, third, and fourth in the Constructor’s Championship, however, is expected to go down to the wire, with the battle between Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull likely to be decided at the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
