McLaren can finally wrap up the 2025 constructors' championship TODAY in Singapore...but that's getting ready to take a back seat to a developing story.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri need to pick up just 13 points between them this weekend for the papaya team to retain their constructors' title, their first repeat success since 1991.

However, all the focus for Sunday's race will be on a blockbuster front row, with fierce rivals Max Verstappen and George Russell lining up alongside one another after Russell snatched pole with a scintillating lap.

Verstappen has won the last two races, slashing Piastri's drivers' championship lead by a full 35 points while also closing in on Norris to the tune of 26 points.

Championship leader Piastri will be just behind Russell and Verstappen in third, while Norris is starting all the way down in fifth, with an uphill battle as he looks to get his championship challenge back on track.
