Mercedes clinch 2026 Constructors' Championship in Brazil

Mercedes secured the Constructors' Championship at the Brazilian Grand Prix, needing just three points over Ferrari to end its title drought since 2021. Kimi Antonelli had already won the Drivers' Championship, so the team's title was confirmed in Sao Paulo.

Team principal Toto Wolff said plans for a celebration were still undecided, with an overnight flight home ahead. He said George Russell would be on that flight and that Lewis Hamilton would also be travelling with the team, adding that the party arrangements would be decided on the return to the UK.

Wolff credited stability and a supportive culture for the team's recovery from its struggles in the ground effect era, saying Mercedes is not a hire-and-fire organisation and is focused on long-term success.
