Ferrari's wait for a drivers title or constructors crown goes on following a 2026 season which promised so much but ultimately yielded little for Formula 1's most successful team.
The famed Italian manufacturer have won the Constructors' Championship a record 16 times, six more than their closest rival McLaren.
Ferrari have frequently flirted with supremacy, having gone close in 2010 with Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, while in 2018 they threatened to end Mercedes' reign, only for the Silver Arrows to ruthlessly banish their hopes by storming to glory in the second half of the campaign.
Finishing runner-up in the Constructors' Championship in 2019, 2022 and 2024, this year is another case of so close yet so far with Ferrari destined for second spot while Mercedes retain their team crown.
Playing catch up from the opening race in Australia, Ferrari had whittled Mercedes' advantage down to 72 points after three consecutive races where they outscored their rivals, only for a disastrous home outing at Monza to disintegrate any momentum they built heading into the second half of the campaign.
Lewis Hamilton's form plateaued after his maiden triumph for the Prancing Horse at the Spanish Grand Prix, and while Charles Leclerc's performances noticeably improved following a difficult start to the campaign, Ferrari would have hoped for a greater return than the combined two wins and 12 podiums they've mustered.
When was the last time Ferrari won the Constructors' Championship?
It's been 18 years since Ferrari were crowned constructors' champions.
Their last success was back in 2008 when Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa accrued 172 points to beat McLaren by 21 points, although the concluding race in Brazil was a bittersweet scene as Massa agonisingly missed out on the Drivers' Championship to Lewis Hamilton on the final lap.
Ferrari were also triumphant in 2007 by a considerable 103-point margin as Raikkonen and Massa retrieved the constructors' crown from Renault.
The Maranello outfit dominated at the start of the 21st century, winning the Constructors' Championship in 1999 with Michael Schumacher, Eddie Irvine and Miku Salo before embarking on an indomitable run of six successive titles with Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello.
