I've put it down as a Maybe for now, because Ferrari have been really strong in the two most recent races, that share similar-ish characteristics. Let's see what they do in Singapore (where Sainz does really well), and see where it ends up. I think they are probably going to remain in the mix for the remainder of the season. It's been such a good Season so far!

Only if they are competitive in Austin.

Ferrari are in the hunt but McLaren are the favourites, they have a car for all tracks and seasons at the moment so it’s hard to look beyond them.

Ferrari has an outside chance, but Mclaren should take it. It would be very optimistic to think that Ferrari can fight for the constructors.

An outside shot because just when you think you know who’s going to be fastest, the form flips again but they have a chance with 6 races in 8 weeks.

Imagine predicting after first 5 races that Red Bull may end up P3 in WCC this year. :rotfl:

McLaren 544
Red Bull 504
Ferrari 496

 

 

Still a gap to make up but some DNFs from McLaren could make it very interesting. They have every chance of being ahead of Red Bull, all things considered.

Yes but there's still maximum of 250 points in offer in the constructors championship, which is quite a lot.

 

This weekend's net gain was:

Ferrari 55

Red Bull 29

McLaren 28

And this weekend

 

Ferrari 41

McLaren 22

Red Bull 8

 

They will win it. Ferrari has the most consistent driver pairing by far at the moment, paired up with the great upgrades.

What an extraordinary throw it would be if McLaren don’t win either title. I do think they will hang on but it looks like being crazily close.

Somehow I don’t think they will have the best car next year and I am already thinking Leclerc and Ferrari are the favourites.

It would be somewhat fitting?  Ferrari has had a technical and operational intervention that has gone massively under the radar this year because of the Mclaren hype.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ferrari now has the same number of wins as Mclaren this year?

Yes, they do.

 

5 each (Norris 3 and Piastri 2 for McLaren, Leclerc 3 and Sainz 2 for Ferrari).

Not only same number of wins, but same number of podiums too. And out of the 20 races so far, both McLaren and Ferrari are at 10-10 each when it comes to race points. Ferrari had the the edge in the first third, McLaren in the second third, and the final third is now neck and neck.

Not only in the hunt,  they'll win it now. Which perhaps should raise questions as to why Leclerc isn't in this title fight.

Will be interesting to see how many points Ferrari can make up when Piastri is qualifying where he should. I reckon Ferrari being the better car for now. But it's marginally.

Arrogance continues... Piastri won Baku, Ferrari and Leclerc gave him the win but he was there for taking.

Well if Perez and McLaren were maximising their points, Ferrari would have been further back.

McLaren haven't won a WCC since 1998, just one year after Williams' last.

This is because of the Spygate DSQ, but still surprises me as McLaren remained strong all the way through 2012.

Mclaren definitely seem to be in the pound seat, Piastri has unfortunately had two disastrous qualifyings in a row, but he's no Perez. He'll be back up there not as consistently as Norris but enough.

Ferrari meanwhile I honestly don't know how they managed to stay in the hunt when they had seemed to struggle midseason, but they've really come out swinging in recent races and put themselves in contention. Leclerc is quick and Sainz is consistent with the odd big performance like Mexico and Australia.

Meanwhile I am absolutely certain Red Bull are out of the hunt. Perez is just so poor and incapable of beating anyone in the top 4 teams, and Max hasn't been able to win a race since the start of the year. The car has been poor for a long time now with no signs of any recovery, so they're no longer a part of this.

The battle is between Mclaren & Ferrari and I honestly have no idea which way it's going to go.

Gap now 35, looking like damage limitation for Ferrari.

Probably too much for Ferrari to make up now. I think the constructors top 3 is set.

Poor weekends in Singapore and Brazil have really weakened their challenge. It's not over though. They can easily go 1-2 in Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi.  These were Ferrari tracks last year.

I would say the chance has gone at this point. McLaren should be a lot better in Qatar, Abu Dhabi will probably be even between them, and Las Vegas has cold temps which is bad for this year's car.
Also Charles is still looking at a possible penalty for new PU parts, he has been lifting and coasting a lot in the recent races to cool the engine.
