Mercedes clinch 2026 constructors’ crown in Brazil to complete title double

Mercedes sealed the 2026 Formula One constructors’ championship at the São Paulo Grand Prix, completing a title double after Kimi Antonelli had secured the drivers’ crown in Mexico City a week earlier. George Russell finished fourth at Interlagos and Antonelli fifth, enough to settle the teams’ standings.

Lando Norris took victory for McLaren in the 71-lap race, finishing 14.602 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen. The Red Bull driver had started 21st and climbed to second, while team-mate Isack Hadjar completed the podium.

It is Mercedes’ ninth constructors’ title and its first since 2021, bringing the team level with Williams in the all-time standings. Three rounds remain on the calendar: Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
