Russell Controls Singapore GP From Pole as McLaren Seals Constructors’ Title

McLaren’s points haul clinches a second straight constructors’ crown under F1’s new heat‑hazard protocols.

Overview

  • George Russell delivered a lights-to-flag win for Mercedes, taking his second victory of the 2025 season at Marina Bay.
  • Max Verstappen finished second despite reporting braking and downshift issues, with Lando Norris close behind in third.
  • McLaren locked the championship with Norris third and Oscar Piastri fourth, needing only 13 points to make the title mathematically certain for what several reports count as their 10th overall.
  • Norris and Piastri made contact on the opening lap, the stewards took no action, and Piastri complained over team radio about being barged.
  • The event was the first F1 race officially designated a heat hazard by the FIA under new rules, and the result trimmed Piastri’s drivers’ lead to 22 points over Norris with Verstappen 63 back and six races remaining.
