SINGAPORE -- McLaren secured its second successive Formula 1 constructors' championship at the Singapore Grand Prix.
The team successfully defended the title with Sunday's result, which saw Lando Norris finish on the podium and drivers' championship leader Oscar Piastri finish one place behind in fourth.
