F1 fans are split over which team will end the 2025 campaign second in the constructors' championship.

The season has largely been dominated by McLaren, with the Woking-based squad winning 12 out of the 17 races held so far.

It has left it with an almost insurmountable lead with seven rounds remaining as it stands on the verge of winning the constructors' title.

However, the battle behind McLaren is fiercely close. Following a strong weekend in Baku for Mercedes, the German squad jumped Ferrari for the runner-up spot.

Just four points separate Mercedes and Ferrari, while Red Bull linger just 18 points behind leading the group following Max Verstappen's win and Yuki Tsunoda's run to sixth.

The close fight prompted us to ask you, the fans, which team you think will end the year in second place.

Mercedes narrowly won out the vote, coming in just 0.31% ahead of Red Bull. Ferrari is the least likely option to take P2, according to the fans.
