Mercedes and Ferrari to Fight for P2 in the Constructor's Championship

Mercedes and Ferrari are going to battle it out for second place in the constructor's championship at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2023.

The Mercedes team, including seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, has 392 points, so it is four points ahead of the Ferrari team, which includes Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. 

Charles Leclerc commented about the situation on Thursday, "It’s going to be tight...We have good momentum coming to this race as the last few races have been positive for us."

Leclerc secured the second position in the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which preceded the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. 

"However, Mercedes is historically pretty good here in Abu Dhabi, so we’ll have to put everything together in order to fight them and beat them in the constructors’ championship," he added. 

On the other hand, the rival team's Russell said "It’s going to be a close fight with Ferrari, they’re obviously coming off the back of a strong race, but definitely I’d prefer to be in the position we are than in their shoes."

The final race of the Formula One 2023 season will take place on Sunday, Nov. 26 and we wish both teams the best of luck!
