Why	Verstappen's recent three-race winning streak signals a Red Bull resurgence that should let him close the gap on McLaren's Norris and Piastri, who have cooled off after a strong midseason. Ferrari's Leclerc and Hamilton remain the most consistent podium threats behind the top three, while Mercedes' Antonelli and Russell solidify a clear fourth-place constructor finish ahead of the midfield battle.	Ferrari's powerhouse lineup of Leclerc and Hamilton secures them the Constructors' Championship over Red Bull, where Verstappen's individual dominance cannot completely offset Hadjar's learning curve. Mercedes and McLaren remain locked in a tight battle for third, while Lawson's exceptional form cements Racing Bulls in fifth.	Verstappen’s late-season momentum makes him the favourite to finish the job in the Drivers’ Championship, but Ferrari’s two-driver scoring strength gives them the edge in the Constructors’ race. McLaren remain close through Norris and Piastri, while Mercedes look solid but slightly short of regular win pace over the final six rounds.	Verstappen's six remaining wins will seal the title with a 100+ point cushion. McLaren edges Ferrari on consistency while Mercedes benefits from Antonelli's strong results; Red Bull's double points haul keeps them ahead in constructors.
