The following details their 10 team crowns:
2025
Oscar Piastri (Australia) and Lando Norris (Britain)
McLaren's second successive title of the 21st century has looked inevitable for some time, unlike 2024 when they went down to the wire in a battle with Ferrari. McLaren have so far won 12 of 18 races with seven one-two finishes.
2024
Piastri and Norris
McLaren started the season slowly, with Red Bull's reigning champion Max Verstappen winning the first two races from pole. Piastri took eight races to get on the podium and won twice, Norris was Verstappen's closest title rival with four wins, the first coming in Miami. McLaren took the lead in Azerbaijan (round 17 of 24) and beat Ferrari by 14 points with both in contention to the end. Verstappen won nine races, but Red Bull effectively had only one driver in the game with Sergio Perez absent from the podium after round five.
1998
Mika Hakkinen (Finland) and David Coulthard (Britain)
Hakkinen, who became a double world champion in 1999, took his first title with McLaren, who had recruited design genius Adrian Newey from reigning champions Williams. Hakkinen won the first two races one-two from pole with fastest lap and McLaren took five of the first six races. The title was sealed at the last race in Japan (round 16) when Ferrari's Michael Schumacher stalled on the grid and then retired with a blown tyre while Hakkinen took his eighth win of the season.
1991
Ayrton Senna (Brazil) and Gerhard Berger (Austria)
Senna won the first four races and seven of 16. The drivers' title was decided at the penultimate race in Japan, with the constructors' sealed at the finale in Australia which was stopped by torrential rain and half points awarded. Senna's closest rival was Williams' Nigel Mansell. Berger won once, his first for McLaren and gifted to him by Senna. This was the fourth successive championship for the McLaren-Honda pairing.
1990
Senna and Berger
The season went down in history for an infamous clash between Senna and former teammate Alain Prost, who had joined Ferrari. The pair had collided at Suzuka in 1989, and they did it again at the first corner in 1990, with Senna taking the title at the penultimate round and admitting a year later that the clash had been deliberate. The constructors' title was also decided in Japan.
1989
Senna and Alain Prost (France)
The two teammates collided at the penultimate round in Suzuka in the closing laps, deciding the championship in Prost's favour. Prost had retired after the collision while Senna rejoined and won, only to be disqualified for the manner in which he rejoined the track.
1988
Senna and Prost
The most dominant season until 2023, when Red Bull won a record 21 of 22 races. McLaren won 15 of 16, with only Ferrari's Gerhard Berger denying them a sweep at the Italian Grand Prix four weeks after the death of Enzo Ferrari. Senna took the first of his three championships. McLaren secured their title with a one-two in Belgium, round 11 of 16.
1985
Niki Lauda (Austria), Prost and John Watson (Britain)
Prost won the first of his four titles, after two years as runner-up with more wins than the eventual champion. Lauda, substituted by Watson for the European GP at Brands Hatch after a wrist injury, retired at the end of the year. The constructors' title went down to the end with McLaren beating Ferrari by eight points.
1984
Lauda and Prost
Lauda won his third and final title by a half a point from Prost, the smallest ever winning margin, despite the Frenchman winning seven races to the Austrian's five. Prost's win in Monaco brought him only 4.5 points because the race was stopped early due to the conditions. McLaren won 12 of 16 races and clinched the constructors by a record margin at the time.
1974
Emmerson Fittipaldi (Brazil) and Denny Hulme (New Zealand)
McLaren's breakthrough first title, and Fittipaldi's second, came in a 15-race year without a defending champion after Jackie Stewart had retired in 1973. Fittipaldi and Ferrari's Clay Regazzoni went into final race level on points with the constructors' title also decided on that day.
