McLaren Leads Constructors' Championship at Abu Dhabi

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will determine the winner of the Constructors' Championship, with McLaren leading Ferrari by 21 points. McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri achieved a front-row lockout in qualifying, while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc faces a 10-place grid penalty due to a technical issue, complicating their title hopes. McLaren needs 24 points to secure the championship, and a victory for either driver guarantees the title, while Ferrari must perform exceptionally to overtake them. Despite McLaren's advantages, Ferrari's adjustments and Leclerc's speed could still pose challenges during the race. Both teams are adopting similar strategies to maximize aerodynamic efficiency on the Yas Marina track, which favors McLaren in the corners. With the stakes high, McLaren's management emphasizes the need for focus amidst the pressure of potentially ending a 26-year title drought.
