Constructor Standings: Ferrari have doubled their points compared to 2020. Ferrari have doubled their compared to 2020.

Everything is relative, so we can therefore read the same data in two opposite ways. Let’s stay on Formula 1: for example, Ferrari have doubled their points in the constructors’ standings after ten races. The Scuderia di Maranello in fact went from 74 to 148, moving up from sixth to fourth position. But it is a partly obligatory improvement: worse than 2020, in summary, it was really difficult to do. However, the fact of improving against Aston Martin and Alpine remains, two teams that in total have lost 115 points.

The most evident step back is that of Mercedes, which in the comparison between Sochi 2020 (tenth race last year) and Silverstone 2021 has lost 81 points: its +174 has crumbled and has even become a -4 compared to Red Bull. The Milton Keynes team recorded the most noticeable improvement in absolute terms: +97. McLaren has also improved (+57), demonstrating how close the distances between the first two and the third-place zone have come. Last year the Woking team was 260 points off the top, this year 126: less than half.
