Let’s take a look at how the Constructors’ Championship standings have shifted after the Mexican Grand Prix.

Constructors' standings after the Mexican GP

McLaren – 713 points
Ferrari – 356 points
Mercedes – 355 points
Red Bull – 346 points
Williams – 111 points
Racing Bulls – 72 points
Aston Martin – 69 points
Haas – 62 points
Kick Sauber – 60 points
Alpine – 20 points

Although McLaren had already secured their second consecutive title a few rounds ago, the Mexican GP result still shook up the standings — with Ferrari reclaiming second place in the Constructors’ Championship thanks to Charles Leclerc’s seventh podium of the season, at the expense of a lacklustre Mercedes at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

In addition, Oliver Bearman’s brilliant fourth-place finish earned Haas 12 crucial points in the Constructors’ standings, putting the team right back in the fight for sixth place against Sauber, Aston Martin, and Racing Bulls.

The Maranello team now holds a one-point lead over the Silver Arrows and a ten-point cushion on Red Bull — but the battle for second in the Constructors’ standings remains wide open.

Fight for the Drivers’ Championship heats up in Mexico

While the Constructors’ Championship may already be decided, the Drivers’ title fight is far from over. Mexico delivered a new leader, thanks to Lando Norris’s outstanding victory and yet another tough weekend for Oscar Piastri, who could manage no better than fifth.

Max Verstappen also keeps his hopes alive after finishing just behind the Brit, clawing back four points in the title chase. Here’s how the Drivers’ standings look now.
