McLaren has won the last two races in
Formula 1. In Baku,
Oscar Piastri managed to win after a thrilling race, while
Lando Norris dominated and cruised to victory at the
Marina Bay Street Circuit. There is a break in the
F1 calendar, and so the
McLaren team has been able to celebrate at the factory.
At the beginning of the season, McLaren was still behind
Red Bull Racing, but upgrades enabled the team to turn things around. Meanwhile, McLaren leads the constructors' championship and is 41 points ahead of its rivals.
That is not the only thing, as Norris has also been getting closer to
Max Verstappen in the drivers' championship every race since the summer break. The difference between the two currently stands at 52 points, with six race weekends to go.
McLaren celebrates victories in Baku and Singapore
For now, things are quiet for a while in
Formula 1. There are three weekends of rest between the
Singapore Grand Prix and the
United States Grand Prix. While the staff will be working hard to find even more improvements, the team took some time to celebrate.
