*Pending appeal. If McLaren are stripped of their constructors’ points they will have 138. The points taken from them will not be distributed to other teams.
That is, unless a decision is taken to disqualify McLaren from the race, in which case the drivers will also lose their points. However McLaren have not been threatened with this yet.
