McLaren MCL39
McLaren's first double title-winner since 1998, which won 14 Grands Prix and made Lando Norris world champion in 2025.
About the McLaren MCL39
The MCL39 was the first McLaren that Rob Marshall oversaw from the start, refining the MCL38 layout with radiators moved higher and further back and more anti-dive in its suspension. Despite being allowed only 70% of the baseline wind tunnel time as reigning champion, it was regarded as the fastest car of 2025, praised for its downforce, efficiency, balance and control of rear tyre temperatures. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri won seven Grands Prix each, and the car took 13 poles and a record 34 podiums. McLaren clinched the Constructors' Championship in Singapore and Norris won the drivers' title in Abu Dhabi by two points, making it the first McLaren since the MP4/13 of 1998 to win both crowns.
