This is how the battle for third in the F1 Constructors Championship looks now
F1 News
Almost everything has been decided in the championship. However, there is still one battle going on that is interesting going into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Third-place in the constructors' championship is still up for grabs. With the double podium at the Sakhir GP, Racing Point makes an important difference.
After the Bahrain Grand Prix last week, it was McLaren that were in control. Perez was on the podium but lost those points because his engine broke down just before the end. Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris were then able to take full advantage of this.
This time around, Perez was in second place when he was tagged by Charles Leclerc in the first lap. Thanks to a great catch-up race and the complete collapse of Mercedes, Racing Point now strikes back. Their lead over McLaren is now ten points.
