McLaren is still in the lead for the Constructors’ Championship, but Ferrari and Carlos Sainz are holding onto hope of taking the title from them. In Brazil, McLaren didn’t have their best weekend; Norris and Piastri ended up sixth and eighth, earning 12 points each. Ferrari faced difficulties too, with Leclerc finishing fifth and Sainz crashing late in the race. Despite this, they remain just 36 points behind McLaren with three races left. Sainz remains optimistic about their chances.
Red Bull Racing had been dominating since 2022, but a big shift happened earlier this season. The RB20’s unpredictable performance allowed McLaren to take the lead. They’re now eyeing their first constructors’ title since 1998, while Red Bull sits third, trailing by 49 points.
Ferrari’s impressive finishes in Austin and Mexico have made them serious contenders again. Their recent performances have significantly narrowed the gap with McLaren.
Heading into the Final Races
Sainz’s streak of good results came to a halt in Brazil after finishing second in Austin and winning in Mexico. His early exit was a setback, yet he believes Ferrari still has a chance. “Yeah, and we will be alive until the very end,” he said. With three crucial weekends ahead, Sainz emphasized the importance of refocusing and strategizing for these final races to maximize their chances.
Fans might wonder if Ferrari can pull off a surprise win at the last minute.
A constructors’ victory would be a sweet farewell for Sainz before he leaves Ferrari for Williams in 2025. What do you think? Can they do it?
