Mercedes clinches the 2026 Formula 1 constructors’ championship at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, sealing the title with three races remaining after a double-points result for George Russell and Kimi Antonelli. The win comes amid celebrations following a season described by multiple outlets as dominant under the sport’s new engine and aerodynamic regulations.
Several reports add that Mercedes also completes a broader title sweep, linking the constructors’ success with Antonelli’s drivers’ championship already secured at the Mexico City Grand Prix. Coverage of Sunday’s race highlights race-by-race outcomes including Russell’s fourth and Antonelli’s fifth, alongside a Sao Paulo win for Lando Norris. Some outlets note that the campaign’s timing, at Sao Paulo on Sunday, is what locks in the constructors’ crown and drives the celebrations.
Across the pieces, the main differences are emphasis and detail: some focus on the championship “best images” and celebration framing, while others stress milestones such as Mercedes ending a multi-year gap since its last constructors’ title or placing on an all-time list. One outlet also focuses on the reaction from rivals rather than the on-track narrative.
