Ferrari move closer and closer to the top of the Constructors’ Championship, but can they maintain their grip on the top of these power rankings?
Before we get to that, it’s disclaimer time. If you’ve read these before, you know the drill. These are all subjective and based mainly on my (incredibly smart) opinion mixed with form and on-track results, meaning it is a generally subjective list that holds no real weight except for the large basis of fact I like to think I can generate.
So with all that in mind, let’s get to the rankings.
10. Kick Sauber (-)
For a few glorious laps, Valtteri Bottas ran in the top ten. That was as close as they have been to points in a long time. Sadly, it didn’t last, and we still are here without any points for the team. Four races left to break this.
9. Aston Martin (-1)
Yeah, this isn’t going too well for Aston Martin at the moment is it? Milestone man Fernando Alonso retired early, while Lance Stroll battled hard to try and get a point but finished in 11th. Need something to happen soon to get a boost in these ratings.
8. Williams (-1)
Close to points again with Franco Colapinto but it wasn’t to be. Mainly drop a spot because of the rise of Alpine, but still in a solid middle of the pack battle for ranking supremacy.

7. Alpine (+2)
Points! For the first time since the Dutch Grand Prix, Alpine got some very valuable runs on the board. It may have only been one point, but right now it’s worth a lot as it tries to catch Williams in the Championship.
6. RB (-)
Feel a bit odd keeping them this high given they weren’t exactly near the points, but watching Liam Lawson have some strong battles with a Red Bull was great to witness, and the car could’ve easily gotten points had a few more things gone their way. So right now, they’re staying put in sixth.
5. Mercedes (-)
Fourth and fifth. Solid. That’s all they can continue to hope for right now as they seemingly drop further back from the top three.
4. Red Bull (-1)
For a team that was absolutely dominating the Championship earlier this year to now finding themselves in third in the Constructors’ Championship, it’s fascinating to watch. It was a terrible weekend overall for the Austrian team, and they will be hoping that Brazil is a lot kinder to them this weekend.

3. Haas (+1)
The team of the season continues to shine and impress. Double points for the team and their fifth consecutive points finish. What a joy it has been to watch.
2. McLaren (-)
Still lead the Constructors’ Championship but it’s now the team in red they are worrying about rather than the team in blue. A bad weekend for Oscar Piastri didn’t help matters, but Lando Norris will at least be happy he was able to take a couple of points away from Ferrari with his late gain of second position.
1. Ferrari (-)
So close to consecutive 1-2 finishes for the first time since 2008, it was still an impressive weekend for the Scuderia to once again win a race. That Constructors’ Championship is looking more realistic for them with each race that comes, giving all us Ferrari fans hope that 16 years of pain without a Championship might soon be about to end.
