As we reach the closing stages of the campaign, McLaren are in the Drivers seat for the Constructors Championship. However, the ground that Ferrari have made up has meant that it there is still everything to play for going into the final weekends of the season.

Favourites:

Red Bull - Having clinched both the 2022 and 2023 championships, will undoubtedly be a strong contender. Their dominant car performance, paired with the exceptional skills of Max Verstappen makes them a force to be reckoned with in both the Drivers Championship and the Constructors Championship.

McLaren: The Glory days of McLaren don't seem as far away as they did last year after a fantastic campaign in 2024, which saw them fight for both Championships towards the end of the season. With two young drivers in Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, McLaren are only getting better and they will be major contenders next season.

Dark Horses:

Ferrari: - Always in the conversation, rarely in the running. Ferrari have underachieved in recent years and the dominance of Mercedes and now Red Bull has left a sour taste in the mouths of Ferrari fans. However, they performed fantastically at the end of the season last year and at the start of the year before, if they can find consistency when Lewis Hamilton joins the team, it could be their year - very soon.

Mercedes: - Despite their recent setback in the face of Red Bull's dominance, Mercedes cannot be discounted. Their history of eight consecutive titles from 2014 to 2021 demonstrates their capability of bouncing back. Although, they will have to do it without the face of their brand is Lewis Hamilton moves to Ferrari.

What is the Constructors Championship?

The FIA Formula One World Championship for Constructors is awarded annually to the most successful Formula 1 team over a season. Unlike the Driver's Championship, which focuses on individual driver performance, the Constructor's Championship recognizes the collective effort of the entire team, encompassing car design, engineering, strategy, and driver skill.

Points are awarded to the teams based on the finishing positions of both their drivers in each race. The team with the highest cumulative points at the end of the season wins the prestigious Constructors' Championship.
