Overall, it's a great season 10 on the report card. First in the constructors' championship and 1-2 in the drivers' championship. The difference, however, is within the Austrian workforce. Indeed, Max Verstappen brought it home well 575 points. His teammate Sergio Perez instead it has some 290 less, concluding in Abu Dhabi with 285 points.

With a car on par with other car manufacturers, we risk seeing a World Championship really addictive.
