Tight battle for the constructors’ runner-up
Similarly, in the constructors’ standings after failing to continue their dominance in the sport, Mercedes is now battling with Ferrari for P2.
At the beginning of the season, the Brackley-based team did not step in the right direction and suffered a lot in terms of points while Ferrari looked really strong.
But thanks to the Italian camp’s reliability and strategy errors and the W13 upgrades over the season, the Mercedes has now closed the gap with the Scuderia. There is only a 19 points difference between the two teams in the constructors’ standings.
Ferrari currently stands at P2 with 524 points while Mercedes stands at P3 with 505 points in its bag.
