Sao Paulo - Mercedes secured the 2026 Formula 1 constructors championship at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, completing a historic double after dominating the season under new engine and aerodynamic regulations. George Russell finished fourth and newly crowned world champion Kimi Antonelli took fifth place, ending a five-year title drought for the team.
Antonelli, the youngest Formula 1 champion, initially led but lost positions after switching to dry tyres and crashing at Turn 1. Russell's race suffered a setback after spinning at the pit lane exit, but he recovered to finish fourth. Mercedes had won the first six races of the season, securing 12 victories out of 20 races. The team's success marks their return to dominance following a difficult period between 2022 and 2025.
