On average, the Aston Martin has been the fifth fastest car - and they have finished fifth in the constructors' championship.

Did McLaren err in not allowing Lando Norris to become the number one driver earlier, which would likely have put them as driver and constructors' champions?

Unfortunately his poor performances are the reason Red Bull slipped to third in the constructors'.

On Sunday, Norris' victory in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, his fourth of his breakthrough year in Formula 1, justified that confidence and sealed the team's first constructors' championship for 26 years.

Sitting in third behind Norris and Sainz in the final 15 laps, Leclerc asked if "like this we lose the constructors'" and was told, yes, but the race was not over.
