On the back of Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren has gone ahead of Alpine in the Constructors Championship
McLaren came to Singapore with a huge deficit to 2022 rivals, the Alpine F1 team, however, as the French team was only able to manage two DNFs, McLaren took full advantage of the opportunity and is now 5 points ahead of the Enstone-based team.
After 17 rounds, McLaren has got 129 points to its name whereas Alpine, on the other hand, has only got 125 points to show for its efforts.
Lando Norris, just like 2021, has carried the weight of his team almost single-handedly and after Singapore, has amassed an exact 100 points for himself.
The young Brit has shown exceptional from this year, and if McLaren wants to keep hold of fourth place in the Constructors Championship, then he is going to be the key man for the team as Alpine is going to come hard in the remaining five races of the season.
