Why F1’s battle for the scraps is about more than pride
Red Bull has had a fantastic performance this season, despite a setback in Singapore. They secured the constructors’ championship in Japan, with six rounds still to go, which is a new record. The championship success was expected early on, as Red Bull proved their strength on every type of venue. Behind them, there are two exciting battles for second place in the constructors’ standings between Mercedes and Ferrari. Last season, they were also fighting for second place, but the dynamics were different. Ferrari started strong but slipped away from Red Bull, while Mercedes showed encouraging development. This year, the roles are slightly reversed, with Ferrari delivering a solid performance from Monza onwards. Mercedes sees this competition as important for their growth and a chance to practice for future championships.
