McLaren has achieved what it once thought impossible - won the Formula 1 world championship as a customer team.
Granted, it’s ‘only’ won the constructors’ title - the lesser one in the eyes of a world obsessed with the drivers’ championship - but it’s a huge achievement for the team.
Not only does it mean a massive payday given prize money is paid based on constructors’ championship position, but it also ends a 15-season title drought for McLaren.
And it’s a title won while relying on a customer power unit supply deal from Mercedes - something it's former bosses once thought was impossible in the hybrid era of F1 engines.
