McLaren He arrives at the Azerbaijan Grand Formula 1 historically. The Woking team has an advantage of 337 points over Ferrari And he needs to expand that difference to 346 to ensure the championship, since only 301 points remain to be disputed in the races and 45 in the sprints after Baku.
The easiest way to seal the crown is with a double of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, something they already achieved seven times this season. If they do not reach 1-2, McLaren can also be proclaimed champion if he surpasses Ferrari by nine points and avoids being cut by Mercedes or Red Bull.
The way McLaren does not achieve it
The scenarios that could delay the celebration include a Ferrari victory, a Mercedes double or an exceptional result of Red Bull. However, with Ferrari without triumphs this year, Mercedes in difficulties and Red Bull lacking consistency, everything indicates that McLaren will achieve an unpublished milestone: to be the first team to ensure the title with seven or more races to be disputed, overcoming the Red Bull record in 2023.
