Current F1 Constructors’ Standings vs 2025: What’s Changed?

Mercedes lead the 2026 constructors’ standings after 11 races with 379 points. Ferrari sit second on 307, and McLaren third on 220, after a rules reset reshaped the competitive order.

At the same stage in 2025, McLaren dominated with 417 points, more than Ferrari’s 210. Their command looked secure, as shown in the updated 2025 standings.

Mercedes make the largest gain. They jump from third in 2025 to first, adding 170 points year-on-year. Ferrari also progress, improving by 97 points in the current 2026 standings.

McLaren endure the sharpest regression. They now trail Mercedes by 159 points. Team principal Andrea Stella says the team pay a “heavy price” for last year’s focus and success.

Williams drop from fifth to ninth, sliding from 55 points to 11. Alpine surge from last to sixth, lifting their tally from 11 to 61 as execution and reliability improve.

Aston Martin’s form collapses, from eighth with 28 points to tenth with one. Red Bull edge forward from 162 to 177, while Racing Bulls also register year-on-year gains.

Audi fall from 26 points to 12. New entrant Cadillac has yet to score, underlining the challenge of arriving mid-cycle into a rapidly evolving ruleset.

The regulation reset rewards aerodynamic efficiency, power-unit integration, and tyre management. Mercedes gain consistency across circuits, while Ferrari capitalise on improved correlation and execution to convert opportunities.

Development pace remains decisive after the Hungarian Grand Prix, and through upcoming Dutch and Italian rounds. Upgrades and track characteristics could shuffle the order before the flyaways.

With 11 races down, momentum matters. The leaders must sustain development rates and operational precision, while those behind need targeted gains to reignite a fading title bid.
