Mercedes secured the Formula 1 Constructors' Championship during Sunday's São Paulo Grand Prix, thanks to George Russell's fourth-place finish and Kimi Antonelli's fifth-place finish. The victory placed Mercedes ahead of Ferrari, marking the team's first triumph in the F1 grid. In a moment reminiscent of big sports wins, Mercedes Deputy Team Principal Bradley Lord and Team Principal Toto Wolff were doused with Gatorade by Russell, symbolizing the team's first "Gatorade dunk" in the sport's history.
Wolff, who was in the middle of an interview with Sky Sports F1 at the time, expressed his delight at the win, stating that it was amazing to be back at the top spot after a few years. He also praised the great work and people within the organisation, adding that it was great to be among them, even in the midst of the Gatorade dunk.
