F1 standings: 2026 Constructors’ Championship

Current standings

Mercedes remains first in the constructors’ standings after the latest 2026 race, with Ferrari in second, McLaren third and Red Bull fourth. The reported points gap between Mercedes and Ferrari is roughly 150 to 160 points, depending on the standings update used.

Why Mercedes leads

Mercedes’ lead reflects both race wins and stronger aggregate scoring across its driver pairing. The team has reportedly taken 11 victories in the opening 15 rounds, giving it a substantial buffer over Ferrari.

McLaren setback

McLaren, the reigning constructors’ champion, suffered a particularly difficult Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Lando Norris retired after an incident involving Alpine cars, while Oscar Piastri finished outside the points, sharply limiting the team’s haul.

What comes next

The remaining races will determine whether Ferrari can mount a realistic challenge or whether Mercedes converts its advantage into the 2026 title. Red Bull’s strong Azerbaijan result improves its position but leaves it well behind the leading teams.
