Mercedes can secure a third straight Constructors' Championship at the Malaysia Grand Prix this weekend.
Their dominance in 2016, when a W07 has won all but one race, sees them lead the standings on 538 points, with Red Bull (316) and Ferrari (301) trailing in their wake.

There are a maximum of 258 points available to Red Bull and Ferrari for the rest of this season, with the teams currently 222 and 237 points behind Mercedes respectively.
That means to keep the championship alive beyond Malaysia, Red Bull's pair will have to gain at least eight more points than Mercedes in Sepang, while Ferrari would have to gain 23 more.
Realistically, a win for either Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg this weekend, as long as the other driver remains in the points, should seal another constructors' crown.
The Silver Arrows have dominated the V6 hybrid era in the sport, securing the title with a total of 701 points in 2014 before leading the way with 701 last season.
With 258 points still available in the final six races, there is a strong possibility that Mercedes could break their record.
