Only 10 points separate second from fourth in the constructors’ championship with four rounds remaining.
Former F1 team principal Guenther Steiner believes Ferrari’s driver line-up, featuring Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, will help secure the team’s second place in the constructors’ championship.

In the midfield, a tight race between teams from sixth to ninth sees Haas, led by Oliver Bearman’s recent success in Mexico, entering the mix. Steiner acknowledges the unpredictability of this battle, where one good race can change the standings significantly. The Haas team principal emphasizes the variable nature of race results in F1, citing examples like Aston Martin’s sudden success in Singapore and Racing Bulls’ struggle to capitalize on their potential.
