 | Conditions for the championship of McLaren and Ferrari in the Constructors` Championship at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix12-01-2025 |
McLaren and Ferrari will determine the new winner of the Constructors` Championship at the final stage of the Formula 1 season of 2024-the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
By the last race, the British team had scored 640 points and was 21 points ahead of the Scuderia.
In Abu Dhabi, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will start from the front row, their rivals Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc in third and 19th.
McLaren only needs to earn 24 points out of a possible 44 to secure the title. The team will be satisfied with the victory of Norris or Piastri, regardless of the result of the teammate and the Ferrari drivers.
In addition, the British can earn 24 points in other ways. If the Scuderia doubles with the best lap, the season leaders must finish the race third and fourth or third and fifth.
If Ferrari does not achieve the maximum result, McLaren will be content with lower positions.
The minimum result for Ferrari to win the title is 22 points. Thus, Sainz and Leclerc must finish at least fourth and fifth and hope that their rivals do not finish in the top 10.
If Ferrari achieves a double fastest lap and McLaren`s drivers cross the finish line third and sixth, the teams will finish the season with the same number of points. The championship in this scenario will go to the Scuderia due to more victories.
McLaren has not won the Constructors` Championship since 1998, Ferrari since 2008.
Red Bull, which won the last two trophies, dropped out of the race for first place early, but can get ahead of Ferrari - the gap between the teams is 38 points. Both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez must be on the podium to give the Austrians a chance for second place.
