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!
Is Ferrari in the 2024 constructors championship hunt?

Only if they are competitive in Austin.

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

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.

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.
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.

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

What an extraordinary throw it would be if McLaren don’t win either title.
That alone makes 2024 classic

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
