Mercedes F1 Wraps Up 2026 World Championship Double in Sao Paulo
Mercedes secured the 2026 Formula One constructors’ championship at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on Sunday, sealing a title double following Kimi Antonelli’s drivers’ crown in Mexico City the week prior. Formula One teams, factory personnel, and motorsport stakeholders saw the Brackley-based outfit build an unassailable 140-point lead over Ferrari with only 129 points remaining across the rest of the season.
652 Points Deliver First Team Title Since 2021
Factory employees across the Mercedes facilities in Brackley and Brixworth will receive team performance bonuses tied directly to securing the constructors’ crown, which awards the highest share of the sport’s commercial prize pool and sponsor payouts. The achievement marks the organization’s ninth constructors’ championship, bringing Mercedes level with Williams for the third-most titles in Formula One history, trailing only McLaren’s 10 and Ferrari’s 16.
The 2026 double ends a four-year drought for Mercedes, who last claimed the constructors’ title in 2021 following an eight-year championship run.
