Constructors Championship Analysis

Here are the top stories and analysis of the Constructors Championship

Firstly we have Red bull at the top of the table. After solid points from both drivers in Australia gaining them 23 points, it put them in a good position for the Malaysian Grand Prix. A week later a 1-2 finish gave them maximum points on the weekend, putting them 16 points in the lead ahead of joint 2nd Lotus-Renault and Ferrari. 

In joint 2nd the is Ferrari and Lotus-Renault. Starting with Ferrari, a strong 2nd place considering a retirement from Fernando Alonso in Malaysia. In Australia they gained strong points from a 2nd and 4th place, totting up a total of 30 points. Massa running strong in Malaysia secured them a further 10 points putting them 3 points ahead of Mercedes.

Next in joint 2nd we have Lotus-Renault securing most of their points with the win in Australia. Grosjean only securing 1 point that weekend. A better performance in Malaysia by the young Frenchmen secured the team 8 points, while his team mate lost his dominance and only secured 6 points. These results put both teams in joint 2nd chasing leaders Red Bull. 

In 4th we have a very strong, positive Mercedes team looking very good during both of the previous races, although Rosberg retired during the Australian Grand Prix. Both drivers being consistent and gaining good solid points. After Malaysia this team looks most likely to contend with leaders Red Bull. Mercedes have the pace to keep up with the top teams and have a good chance to compete for the title.

Force India look very strong with both drivers finishing in the top 10 securing 10 points for the team. Unfortunately some unrehearsed pits stops in Malaysia made for some delays during a tyre change causing damage to brake disks and clutch. This lead to both cars to retire. 

Mclaren looking in really bad shape, only have 4 points after the first two races. Only 2 points secured in Australia puts them low in the constructors table. Malaysia was just as bad if not worse with a retirement from Jenson Button running in a strong 5th place putting pressure on the Mercedes, after a poor pit stop which put him far down the field. Perez showing that he has not quite settled only managed 9th. 

These are in my opinion the tops stories from the Constructors Championship Table
