We are one step closer to the start of the Formula 1 season, with Barcelona Shakedown now finished. While Mercedes and Red Bull both looked very good, the question will be: who will take home the Constructors’ Championship in 2026? Having taken a look at the drivers’ pre-season power rankings, we turn our attention to the Constructors Championship. Here are the 2026 Formula 1 Pre-season team power rankings.

As was explained in our pre-season driver power ranking, all points are calculated using our Into The Chicane Driver Performance Model. To rank the drivers, we took the average score of the two drivers in the team performance model. As the Constructors Championship is based on how the drivers perform, we felt this was the most accurate method to use.

11: Racing Bulls: 33.7

Someone needs to be at the bottom of the Formula 1 Pre-season team power rankings, and unfortunately, Racing Bulls starts there this year. Liam Lawson has yet to really find himself in F1, and new driver Arvid Lindblad has yet to prove himself in the big competition.

Racing Bulls lost their top driver, Isack Hadjar, to Red Bull this year, which drops them substantially. They do have Yuki Tsunoda as the reserve driver should they need him, but there are a lot of questions to be answered with this team.

10: Alpine: 38.1

Franco Colapinto was the only driver last year to not score a single point, and Alpine relied heavily on Pierre Gasly to pick up points. The hope, of course, is that Colapinto finally earns a point or two this season, but it’s hard to see them finishing much higher than the bottom three this year.

9: Audi: 42.9

While Nico Hulkenberg was very decent last season, Gabriel Bortoleto struggled to impress in his rookie season. This should be a better year for the team, especially with Audi’s sponsorship, but it will rely on a step forward from the young Brazilian.

8: Cadillac: 43.8

This is the biggest wildcard. If the Cadillac car is good, this team could fight their way to the top of the midfield, but if not, watch out! The good news is that they have two experienced drivers in Sergio Perez and Valterri Bottas who should be able to make the most out of the car that they have. Cadillac finds its way to eighth.

7: Aston Martin: 45.0

Somehow, Fernando Alonso pulled this car from the bottom of the grid into the points, and Lance Stroll wasn’t a total liability along the way. The team has potential and the resources to be decent, but will need much more from the Canadian.

6: Haas:47.9

Like McLaren, Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon were both at around the same level last season, and with a full season under his belt, we could see a step forward from the Brit. Ocon is a reliable driver, and with a push, they could challenge Williams for fifth.

5: Williams: 48.3

What a year it was for Williams. The perennial underdog fought tooth and nail to finish fifth this past year, and with Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon back in the fold again, they could continue to be one of the top midfield teams again this year. Unfortunately, it’s hard to see them pushing any higher than they are right now.

4: Ferrari: 60.1

In a perfect world, Ferrari should be a top team every year. But in true Ferrari fashion, they manage to always mess it up. Barcelona was a good early sign for the team, and with two excellent drivers, it should be a good year for them. The team will need to get more from Lewis Hamilton, but knowing how they struggled to give him what he needed in his maiden season, it’s hard to expect more.

Charles Leclerc has been with Ferrari for longer than the team deserves of him, but if the two can finish on the podium more reliably in what looks to be a better car this year, they could find themselves challenging for the Constructors’.

3: Mercedes: 63.4

George Russell was Mr. Consistency last season, and Kimi Antonelli was one of the best rookies on the grid. With a step forward from the young Italian and another solid year from the Brit, they could challenge for the Constructors ‘ title this year. Like Red Bull, though, they will need Antonelli to really take a step forward and challenge for the podium regularly.

2: Red Bull: 65.1

Max Verstappen should challenge again for the WDC, but the question is his teammate, as it is each year. The curse of the Red Bull second seat is well-established lore in the sport, and as good as Isack Hadjar was at Racing Bulls, it’s hard to see him breaking it when drivers much more established struggled. If Hadjar breaks the curse, watch out- they could win it all, but if not, it will be Verstappen fighting for the WDC and falling way behind in the Constructors.

1: McLaren: 69.7

The Papayas have two excellent drivers who could each win the WDC. Put together, it’s hard to see anyone beating them for the Constructors this season. Lando Norris is coming off of his first WDC, while Oscar Piastri looked like the trophy was his early in the year. Either could challenge for the WDC this year, but if last year was any indication, the Constructors’ is McLaren’s to lose.
