McLaren Racing heads into the Singapore Grand Prix as Formula 1’s hot new darlings and the team that just may be the ones to finally dethrone Red Bull and Max Verstappen

Red Bull have gone from hunted to hunters in the Formula One constructors' championship and will "throw everything" into regaining the lead from McLaren, team boss Christian Horner said on Sunday. Red Bull have led the championship since 2022 and enjoyed the most dominant season on record last year with 21 wins in 22 races.

Norris and Piastri have combined to win two of the last three F1 races for McLaren, while Verstappen hasn't won since the Spanish Grand Prix on June 23. While the team has said it wants Norris to dethrone Verstappen, Brown knows it is a longshot unless Norris can start sledgehammering-away large chunks of Verstappen's lead every race.
