Ferrari's Dominance in Formula 1
As the most successful team in the history of Formula 1, Ferrari has consistently been at the top of the Constructors' standings. The team’s remarkable success on the track has been complemented by its rich heritage and unmatched legacy in the sport. With a legacy spanning over 70 years, Ferrari’s name has become synonymous with excellence, speed, and passion.
In 2024, Ferrari aimed to add another title to their storied history. However, despite a competitive season, they fell just short to McLaren, who claimed their ninth Constructors’ Championship. Ferrari’s performance in Abu Dhabi, where they secured second and third positions with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc respectively, wasn't enough to close the points gap with McLaren.
McLaren’s Historic Win: Norris Clinches the Title
McLaren, on the other hand, made a spectacular comeback to the top of Formula 1, winning their first Constructors' Championship in 26 years. Lando Norris, who started from pole, delivered a flawless performance in the final race of the season to secure the team’s historic victory. Despite a challenging race, where teammate Oscar Piastri faced several difficulties, Norris managed to hold off Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc to clinch the title.
"It feels incredible. Not for myself but for the whole team. They have done an amazing job from where we were at the beginning," said Norris, reflecting on McLaren's remarkable resurgence this season.
The Final Race in Abu Dhabi
