Many other constructors have followed suit reaching a total of 22 by 2024. While double-digit wins almost guarantee a complete unrivaled victory meaning both the driver's and constructor's titles are guaranteed there has only been one example of a constructor achieving double-digit wins without a title: McLaren-Mercedes in 2005. Since 2000 McLaren had been out of the title race. This coincided with the time when Ferrari and Michael Schumacher achieved five consecutive championship victories. Even Adrian Newey the "winner" struggled during this time. Things looked up for Newey however with major changes to the technical regulations including increased front wing ground clearance and the requirement to use one set of tires from qualifying through the final. Newey took a chance on this and developed the MP4-20. Although it won the title of fastest machine an unexpected lack of reliability became a hindrance to regaining the title.

I ordered this for my partner as a Christmas present. The seller sent me a very cute message with a picture of the package before they shipped it. I accepted that it was going to get here in January like eBay and USPS said, but the package actually got here BEFORE Christmas, four days early! It also came with a very beautiful handwritten note and a sticker. You've absolutely made our Christmas!
Fantastic seller. Item arrived well packaged and as described. Communication was great the whole time, received images of the item as it was packaged, dispatch was quick, with tracking provided, and only took 9 days to arrive which I thought was really good from Japan to the UK. Handwritten note and complimentary Pokémon card were a nice touch. Highly recommended.
Seller had clear communication, sent tracking as soon as it was available and my item came in perfect condition, wrapped up safely. The Pikachu plush itself is a genuine product from Pokecentre, overall happy with my purchase and will be checking this seller first for more collectables in the future, was also a pretty fair price.
