The Constructors' Championship is an annual award presented by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) to the Formula One constructor with the most points at the end of a season. Points are awarded to the top ten finishers in each race, with the winner receiving 25 points, second place receiving 18, third place receiving 15, and so on down to the tenth place finisher receiving one point. The Constructors' Championship is considered to be one of the most prestigious titles in motorsport.

The Constructors' Championship is significant because it represents the performance of the entire team, not just the drivers. The constructor is responsible for designing and building the car, and managing the team. The championship rewards the constructor that has built the best car and managed the team the most effectively throughout the season. Winning the Constructors' Championship is seen as a mark of excellence and is highly sought after by all teams.

The Constructors' Championship was first awarded in 1958, and has been won by a variety of teams over the years. The most successful team in the history of the championship is Ferrari, with 16 titles. Other successful teams include McLaren, Williams, and Red Bull Racing.
