During speeches to the team, Zak, Andrea, Lando, and Oscar thanked everyone for their relentless hard work and the unity shown through the season so far, expressing how the success achieved is a testament to the people at McLaren, highlighting the strength and consistency of the entire operation from factory to trackside.
Celebrations concluded with a toast and further gratitude to the people, fans, and partners involved. A team photo allowed for a final moment of reflection before the team now turns its attention to the remainder of the 2025 season.
Zak Brown, CEO, McLaren Racing said:
“It’s great to be able to come together and celebrate the success that we have achieved as a team. We can also take this moment to reflect on the papaya era of McLaren, which began in 2018 but truly came into full force in 2023.
“To have been able to achieve one of the biggest turnarounds in Formula 1 history is something everyone can be proud of. Since the beginning of this era, we’ve celebrated 18 Pole positions, 19 victories, 67 podiums and nine 1-2 finishes, while also delivering back-to-back Constructors’ Championships.
“This success is down to the culture and unity that drives this team alongside the valued support of our incredible fans and partners. I’m looking forward to continuing this journey together.”
Andrea Stella, Team Principal, McLaren Formula 1 Team said:
“It’s remarkable to be celebrating our second Constructors’ Championship in two years. To be able to secure the 2025 title with six races yet to go is unbelievable. This incredible result for the entire team is a special moment and one we can reflect on with immense pride and recognition as consecutive World Champions.
“Thank you to Lando and Oscar. And thank you to our families, our loved ones and friends who share with us the sacrifice and the intensity of competing in Formula 1. Thank you to our teammates at HPP, our technical and commercial partners, and our fantastic fans. We have achieved this success together and that will only breed hunger to continue this success going forward.
“We have six rounds remaining, however, we must remain focused and prepared as our biggest challenge is still to come with the change of regulations in 2026. This challenge will be like climbing Everest, and is one we will attack together. Every minute counts and as a team, we will make sure we continue to work hard to continue our journey as World Champions.”
