Tommy founded WTF1 but sold it to “the race,” did a couple years as a contracted employee, and then quit to start the aforementioned channel with his friend Matthew Gallagher. They are a lot less serious than sky or the race, but they have an impassioned fan base (myself included) who love their personality, and the friendship dynamic between the two, as they gush over their love for F1.

So here's the thing, normally the Constructors would not matter, but it does due to the teams in question. McLaren and Ferrari, the two longest running teams in the sport. Neither have won any championships since the late 2000's, both have experienced horrible low points in the years since and gone through periods were you weren't sure if they would ever really make it back to the top. For both teams winning the title would be a statement that their team is back to title winning ways. That the bad times are over and that they can dominate the sport again.

[@haribo836]

Don't forget what it does to all the engineers and mechanics. It's a proper Xmas bonus for them, goes into 5 numbers each. A nice motivation to work extra hours in the winter.

[@zoom0283]

Very true. Ever since the hybrid era began it’s either Mercedes or Red Bull, two relatively new teams, that have won championships. Now that the two oldest and most successful teams are actively challenging for the constructor’s championship, we can say that the old guard is back. Next year will be a much more exciting prospect with McLaren, Ferrari, and Red Bull all close with each other in terms of car performance.

[@michaelcourtney4969]

The thing is that the constructors has hardly been contested for the past decade. It's usually won by one team who is miles ahead

[@renegerritsen6178]

For fans, the constructors does not really matter, usually, but you are right that 2 of the 3 teams in contention have not won that championship in a LONG time. I think McLaren deserve it more right now, as they have really made a major step forward this season. However, they have also bottled so many races and lost so many points, that you might argue that it would be a good wake up call if Ferrari could catch them and be WCC this year. McLaren still has a chance next year.

[@aleskatic431]

For fans not but for every F1 team employee and owner it matters a whole lot. Every team employee (between 700 - 1200 people) gets big bonus if they win constructors title and nothing if they win just drivers title. From marketing perspective I'm sure title brings a few more 100 millions into the buget. So I would argue it's not really clear which title is more important at the end.

[@mertcanhacfazloglu4862]

Nice to see Tommy here. Most fans don't care about Constructor anymore

Neither do the teams... it only cost 'em wind tunnel time allocation now. There were no celebrations in Grove in 1986 or 1994 nor were there celebrations in Maranello in 1976, 1999 or 2008... or in Brackley in 2021 for that matter.

Why do the F1 fans look down upon the Constructors' Championship? Surely it is not so prestigious and flashy as the drivers championship, yet it is for the whole team on track and back to the factory. Also it is more substantial, in terms of money. And of course, it is included among the achievements of an F1 team. A humble opinion from a tifosi of Ferrari.

[@aoife1122]

But that's not true... the WCC is a tool to split the FIA prize money, the difference between P1 and P2 is what? 9 million dollar? Sorry, but that's "chickensh*t" in the grand scheme of things (and it will cost the team wind tunnel time allocation). If a team has a world champion driver in the car they can literally write their own numbers on the checks the sponsors will happily throw at them. No sir, the WDC is where the REAL money is, always has been, always will be. If anything, winning the WCC but not the WDC is a damning testament to their drivers failing to land "the big fish" despite having the best machinery at their disposal. (From a Tifosi who was NOT celebrating in 1976, 1999 or 2008)

Every single Lewis fan in the world would swap Mercedes' 2021 WCC for the WDC, and I guarantee none of them gave a toss about celebrating the constructors' that night. However, if Max wraps up the WDC in Vegas, and Ferrari close up on McLaren, then Abu Dhabi could get quite heated and fans will care about McLaren v Ferrari for the constructors'

3:46 well, the RB cars this season don’t favor street circuits.

[@adrianpollard2763]

F1 is ALL about the constructors championship, not the drivers title. Winning the constructors title is hugely profitable for the teams, and finances all prize money which is only paid at the end of the season. As far as the race director being sacked goes, nobody is mentioning the elephant in the room which is the red flag fiasco in Brazil. That looked 99% contrived in an effort to derail Max. The trouble was, they can't penalise the weather, and Max had the last laugh on everybody, especially McLaren. My question would be what would have happened if one of the cars that were allowed to pass a stricken car at racing speed had gone off & collided with the AM that looked as if it was deliberately driven into a travel trap by the hopeless Stroll. Remember Jules Bianchi? That red flag should have been deployed immediately. In my opinion, it was manipulative, and played a big part in the sacking of the race director. We're talking about driver's safety here, not internal politics.

[@neilvenners3309]

It’s a bit of a paradox with Red Bull and the constructors. It used to be that a single point was worth one million dollars so it really would matter how far up in the constructors points you were. Obviously they’ve suffered because of Perez but there’s the paradox, they keep him because he brings money from South America. Whilst losing it in the constructors?!?

Ask me, I am a Mercedes fan.

F1 is a constructors series by the way.

[@janengelbrecht]

@@madeovstarstuff I know that, you know that, the F1 community the teams, and drivers know that, but that's not the point. For fans, the result and the excitement is the driver's championship. Although everyone knows the real deal and the prize is the money connected to the constructor's championship the prestige is connected to the driver's championship and that outcome is all everyone ever remembers.

😂😂😂 brutally honest dude! Love it

[@madeovstarstuff]

​@@janengelbrechtmost likely I've been watching f1 long enough to understand and appreciate its purpose I guess

[@irenehabes-quene2839]

Don’t kid yourself, the majority of the fans only really care about which driver wins.

Crofty will always be a sore loser and people can see it 👏👌

Another great podcast episode keep it up ❤

track temps in the low-mid 60s (F) will be about what the temps are for 6 or 8 of this year so far.

The Constructor's Championship is like Villa winning the Intertoto Cup in 2001... no one remembers 😂

[@wonkybomb1865]

Not much at all same with drivers championship. I just want to see good racing and every time there’s an even remotely close chance of a title fight people and media become insufferable. 💯

No more comments about Max sim racing now?

[@erhhsdhh2099]

He wasn’t wrong at the time. Max was crying and throwing tantrums on the radio. Felt for GP having to deal with that manchild.

A lot of F1 fans are not aware that F1 is originally a Constructors championship. I understand because we all have our favorite driver's myself included. No disrespect intended because I love both.

[@thomasvrielink299]

Actually F1 originally didn't have a Constructors Championship at all. The first Constructors Championship was in 1958, before then F1 only had the Drivers Championship.

[@texasmr2]

@thomasvrielink299 True.

33:58 for sure Vegas this year will favor Max. It is super cold in the US, and he is the best at thinking in the car and adapting to conditions.

I understand wanting to keep swearing at a minimum however, given the presence of f1 kids, They should not have to worry about swearing since it is media catered to adults, and not children.

[@Duncan23]

Growing up I think I cared more about constructors championship more than the drivers, now I'm older I couldn't care less about it. I'm not sure if that is just because we haven't seen a very competitive battle in a while or something else but I definitely don't care about it anymore.

[@luciddaze248]

Do you think the race director is being blamed by the FIA for allowing the drivers to publicly stand up to the FIA?? Feels like some people in the FIA have decided to burn the house down before they get evicted??

[@shanemolloy7862]

Real F1 fans understand how massive a WCC win for McLaren would be. If Ferrari sneak it that would be even more massive!!!
