For all the focus that has been placed on McLaren reeling in Red Bull at a rapid rate of knots in the F1 constructors' championship, Ferrari has gone under the radar.
For a period earlier this season, it appeared as if Red Bull would romp to a third consecutive constructors' crown such was its dominance.
The wheels, however, have dramatically fallen off the Red Bull juggernaut of late that has resulted in McLaren, in particular, now just eight points shy of ending the reign of the Milton Keynes-based team which has been out in front since the 2022 Spanish Grand Prix.
Yet Charles Leclerc's victory for Ferrari on the team's home track of Monza on Sunday has pushed the Scuderia to within 39 points of Red Bull, and 31 behind McLaren.
It has been a long wait for Ferrari since it last won a constructors' title, stretching back to 2008, and even then in contentious circumstances after McLaren was expelled from the championship over the 'Spygate' saga.
Sixteen years on, is Ferrari really in the hunt this year? Is this a three-horse race? Have your say in the poll below, and let us your know thoughts after you have delivered your verdict.
