Mercedes is back on top. The team clinched its ninth Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship with three races left, ending a four-year title drought. The win also puts team boss Toto Wolff level with Sir Frank Williams for the third-most constructors’ titles by a team principal.

By the Numbers
  • 9 Constructors’ Championships for Mercedes.
  • 3 races remained when Mercedes secured the title.
  • 4 years since Mercedes last won the championship.
  • 8 consecutive titles for Mercedes from 2014 to 2021.
Yes, But

The title was secured on a difficult day at Interlagos: George Russell finished fourth and Kimi Antonelli fifth after both drivers spun. Mercedes’ strong start to the season built its decisive advantage, while recent races have exposed weaknesses that still need attention.

State of Play
  • Mercedes built an unassailable lead over Ferrari before the season’s final three rounds.
  • Its return follows struggles that began with the 2022 regulations.
  • Wolff now shares third place on the all-time team-principal list with Sir Frank Williams.
Bottom Line

Mercedes’ championship confirms the team has rebuilt its way back to the summit—but sustaining that position will mean addressing the inconsistency that has resurfaced late in the season.
