Why	Verstappen's late-season surge with back-to-back Singapore wins puts him narrowly ahead of a consistently podium-scoring Leclerc, while Antonelli's maiden win and strong Mercedes form secures third; McLaren's drop in recent competitiveness (Piastri and Norris outside the top 3 in the last races) allows Ferrari to leapfrog them in constructors despite McLaren's stronger overall season base. Red Bull's constructor tally is weighed down by Hadjar's lower points relative to Verstappen's dominance, keeping them behind Mercedes and McLaren in the teams' standings.	Ferrari's supreme driver pairing of Leclerc and Hamilton secures them the Constructors' title, while Verstappen's individual brilliance carries him to another Drivers' Championship over Leclerc.	The title fight is projected to remain very tight, but Verstappen’s late-season momentum and Red Bull’s strong race execution make him the narrow championship favorite over Leclerc. Ferrari is favored for the Constructors’ title because Leclerc and Hamilton are both scoring heavily, while Mercedes and McLaren remain strong but slightly less consistent across both cars.	Verstappen's consistency across the final five races secures the title, while Ferrari edges constructors on Hamilton-Leclerc points. Mercedes and McLaren remain close but trail on recent momentum.
