Max Verstappen secured his fourth world title in Las Vegas, but the battle for Formula 1's lucrative constructors' championship is heating up in Qatar this week. The championship, worth around $140 million to the winner, is still up for grabs with McLaren, Ferrari, and Red Bull vying for the top spot.

This weekend in Qatar, a sprint race on Saturday offers teams the chance to earn extra points, with a maximum of 59 points available over the entire weekend. McLaren currently leads the standings by 24 points over Ferrari, with Red Bull trailing by 29 points. McLaren could clinch its first constructors' crown since 1998 this Sunday, provided they have a flawless performance or if Ferrari encounters setbacks.
