Kimi Antonelli’s title luck compared to Michael Schumacher by David Coulthard
Mercedes advantage
Mercedes has built the strongest team campaign so far, combining frequent high finishes with enough points from both cars to remain well clear of Ferrari. That two-car performance is the central reason for its commanding lead.
Red Bull response
Verstappen’s win offers Red Bull encouragement even though the team remains fourth in the standings. A strong finish to the season could turn the current McLaren battle into a broader fight among the leading teams.
Looking ahead
Attention is also shifting toward 2027, with the latest results suggesting that Red Bull could become a more serious challenger if it carries its recent pace forward. For now, Mercedes remains the clear favorite to secure the team crown.
