The triumphant campaign that saw Mercedes seal the 2026 Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship at Interlagos marks a monumental return to the pinnacle of motorsport for the Silver Arrows. Solid points finishes from both George Russell and his teammate cemented enough points to secure the coveted team crown at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace.
Speaking immediately after the chequered flag, Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff highlighted that the definitive turning point of their championship charge was established during the opening phase of the season, where the team brilliantly converted six consecutive victories in the first six Grands Prix.
While the latter stages of the calendar presented intense developmental battles and high-pressure moments on track, that formidable early cushion proved vital. Combined with the stellar performances delivered by newly crowned drivers' champion Kimi Antonelli, the Brackley-based squad successfully fended off all challengers.
Wolff expressed immense pride in the tireless organization behind the scenes, noting how rare it is for a powerhouse squad to successfully claw their way back to the top step after enduring a challenging multi-year recovery period in the sport.
With three rounds remaining on the 2026 calendar at Las Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi, Mercedes aims to cap off their dominant year in style. Read our in-depth analysis on their historic title fight right here.
