A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
With 14 rounds completed in the 2025 Formula 1 season, the Constructors’ standings paint a clear picture of McLaren’s supremacy and the scale of the challenge facing their rivals.
Calculating the average points per race reveals just how commanding McLaren's campaign has been so far.
McLaren – 559 pts / 14 races: 39.9 pts per race
Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris have shared 11 wins between them and delivered seven 1–2 finishes, propelling McLaren to an unprecedented near-40 points per race.
Their consistency has effectively put the Constructors’ title beyond reach before the summer break.

Ferrari – 260 pts / 14 races: 18.6 pts per race
Charles Leclerc’s podiums and Lewis Hamilton’s top 4 finishes have kept Ferrari second, but their form has been erratic, with Hungary’s tyre-pressure controversy showing the fragility of their pace under pressure.
Mercedes – 236 pts / 14 races: 16.9 pts per race
Steady podiums for George Russell and strong, albeit scarce, rookie showings from Kimi Antonelli keep Mercedes in touching distance of Ferrari.
However the German outfit is one of the three teams, alongside McLaren and Red Bull, to have taken home a win this season.

Red Bull Racing – 194 pts / 14 races: 13.9 pts per race
The former champions have endured a turbulent year, with Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda unable to match McLaren’s speed.
Strategic missteps and qualifying struggles have added to their woes.
Midfield battle: Williams spearheads the best of the rest battle
Williams (5.0 pts per race) leads a tight midfield scrap over Aston Martin (3.7), Sauber (3.6), Racing Bulls (3.2), Haas (2.5) and Alpine (1.4).

Each has shown flashes of form with consistency remaining as the dividing factor.
McLaren’s astonishing average reflects both a car that has excelled across all circuit types and a driver pairing performing at their peak.
Unless the chasing pack finds major gains after the summer break, 2025’s Constructors’ battle is all but decided.
