Mercedes clinched the 2026 Formula 1 constructors' championship at the São Paulo Grand Prix, completing a clean sweep of both titles this year.
Mercedes secured its first crown since 2021 with George Russell finishing fourth, and Kimi Antonelli fifth in Brazil.
Antonelli had already won the team its first drivers' championship since 2020 at last weekend's Mexico City Grand Prix, becoming F1's youngest champion in the process.
Mercedes entered the season's new engine and aerodynamic regulations as the favorite and duly delivered, winning the first six races of the season.
With three races still to play, Mercedes took victories at 12 of the season's 20 races.
The dominant fashion of the season has all the hallmarks of the beginning of the V6 turbo era, which started in 2014 -- Mercedes would dominate the first phase of that, until the introduction of the ground-effect era cars in 2022.

Between 2022 and 2025, Mercedes won only a handful of races but has mastered the controversial new rules.
F1's new engines feature a near 50-50 split between conventional combustion power and electrical elements, including batteries which drivers need to harvest and deploy around a lap.
