Distinct point ranges define team categories
The constructors can be categorized into distinct groups based on their championship points: top contenders (over 5,000 points), mid-tier teams (1,000 to 5,000 points), and lower-tier teams (below 1,000 points). This distribution helps to understand the varying levels of success and competitiveness among the teams.

Teams such as Force India, Toro Rosso, Alpine, and Aston Martin, with points ranging from
500 to 1,046, represent the newer entrants in the sport compared to historical giants. Their presence highlights the evolving nature of Formula 1 and the ongoing changes in team competitiveness and branding.
Historical significance of teams with fewer points
Teams like Cooper, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati, though lower on the list with points under
500, have played crucial roles in the early years of Formula 1. Their contributions to the sport's history and development remain significant despite their lower championship point totals.
