Constructors standing going into Abu Dhabi GP

It is yet to be observed if Red Bull will continue to dominate the final match of the season like always. On the other hand, Ferrari has a good chance of beating Mercedes in the standings after Charles Leclerc finished second and Carlos Sainz finished sixth last time out in Las Vegas.

McLaren’s disappointing performance in Vegas means that they are only 11 points ahead of Aston Martin in the battle for fourth place. Constructors standings ahead of the Las Vegas GP are given below. Both teams are set at 10/1 for a double podium. Mercedes 9/10 and Ferrari 4/6 are expected to be enough to secure second place in the standings, with two cars in the top six.

Last but not least, Sergio Perez will need to perform exceptionally well in the race to match Max Verstappen, even though the Mexican has already earned second place in the standings.

As the qualifying and the race will be staged at dark time in Abu Dhabi, the main sessions of the weekend will still take place in the early afternoon.
