So this means that Red Bull Racing can become constructors' champion in Japan the moment it manages to get one more point than the duo of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. If after the Suzuka race the margin to Mercedes is 309 points or more, the constructors' title for Red Bull will be a reality.
