Mercedes leads the 2026 constructors' championship by 133 points after the United States Grand Prix, holding 607 points to Ferrari's 474 with five rounds remaining and a maximum of roughly 215 points available. The Brackley squad's advantage stems from 12 race wins, driven by Kimi Antonelli's nine victories and consistent podium scoring alongside George Russell, while Ferrari's two wins and lower average finishes have left them unable to close the gap despite strong recent results from Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Trader consensus reflects this insurmountable deficit, as even a perfect points haul by Ferrari combined with Mercedes scoring zero would fall well short. Only extreme reliability failures across multiple Mercedes entries or widespread disqualifications could theoretically alter the outcome before the season finale.
