McLaren is on the verge of securing the Formula 1 constructors’ championship with a remarkable lead going into the Azerbaijan Grand Prix this weekend. This race in Baku marks the 17th round of the season, with McLaren holding a substantial 337-point advantage over their closest rivals. If McLaren maintains their performance, they could clinch the title by the end of the race on Sunday, setting a new record for the earliest championship win in Formula 1 history.
Currently, McLaren faces competition from Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull, who are all vying for the second spot in the standings. To cement their victory in Baku, McLaren must outscore these teams by specific margins. They need to ensure that Mercedes does not score 12 points more than them and that Red Bull falls short by 33 points. Additionally, McLaren must outperform Ferrari by nine points to eliminate any chances of being caught by their rivals.
