The 2026 F1 season is underway... and Mercedes is already running away with it...

George Russell and Kimi Antonelli are favored to lead Mercedes back to the top of the constructors' standings and put an end McLaren's two year two-year championship streak.

Formula 1 will have 11 Constructors for the first time in the modern era, which could make for the most competitive constructors' landscape in years.

Mercedes -1000

Mercedes was one of the fastest teams in preseason testing in Barcelona and Bahrain, and have showcased their full capabilities so far this season, winning seven of the first eight races.

The British based team is one of the most successful in F1 history, and had the most dominant run in F1 history; winning eight consecutive Constructors' World Championships from 2014-2021.

Mercedes is spearheaded by team principal Toto Wolff, and has two very capable drivers in the seats - George Russell and Kimi Antonelli. Russell finished fourth in the Drivers' Championship last season, and was favored to win his first Drivers' Championship in 2026, but second-year driver Kimi Antonelli has snatched the number one spot from his teammate, winning five races already in 2026.

Ferrari +550

Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, and Ferrari have one of the fastest cars, and Fred Vassuer's team is hungry to get back to the top for the first time since 2008.

Leclerc is racing alongside the rejuvenated Lewis Hamilton, who is pushing for an eighth Drivers' Championship. Hamilton won his first Grand Prix since 2024 when he finished first in Barcelona, and Leclerc won his first race of 2026 last time out at the Silverstone Circuit in the United Kingdom.

McLaren +3300

McLaren ran away with the Constructors' Championship last season, clinching their second consecutive title by over 350 points.

British racing driver Lando Norris secured his first Drivers' Championship by finishing two points above Max Verstappen, and Oscar Piastri placed third after leading for much of the season. With both drivers returning to McLaren, they cannot be counted out as title contenders.

McLaren has not been the fastest car so far, but they are one of the best at making mid-season performance upgrades as seen in recent years, and with such a strong duo in the seats, they could make a push to win their third consecutive Constructors' Championship.

Red Bull +6600

Red Bull arguably have the best driver in Max Verstappen, but the relatively inexperienced Isack Hadjar in the second seat does give them a potential disadvantage.

Verstappen's abilities alone should keep Red Bull near the top of the standings, but it will come down to what Hadjar can offer to make them a true contender for the Constructors'.

Verstappen is frustrated with the new F1 rules, and failed to finish in the first race of the season in Australia, and has not yet found the podium in 2026.

The Rest of the Field

Every other team is +400000 to win the Constructors' Championship in 2026.

Cadillac is at the bottom in it's inaugural F1 season, while the rebranded Audi car was a welcome surprise in Bahrain and could find themselves in the middle of the pack rather than sitting at the bottom.

Alpine sacrificed all of 2025 to start this season on the front foot, making them a possible dark-horse contender after finishing last in the Constructors' standings last season with just 22 points. Alpine's cars are driven by Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto, and will feature a Mercedes power-unit for the first time.

Aston Martin posses experienced and capable drivers in Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, but the car itself has been subject to scrutiny in testing after having the slowest times in Bahrain.
