Isack Hadjar finished third, George Russell fourth and Kimi Antonelli fifth. Verstappen climbed from P21 due to engine penalties. Mercedes secured the 2026 F1 constructors' championship, its ninth team title and first since 2021, equalling Williams. Lewis Hamilton finished P9 in his 400th F1 start.\n\nMixed conditions and pit-timing shaped the race. Norris lost the lead at the start but stayed mistake-free and capitalised when Antonelli spun. Verstappen carved through the field from the back. Mercedes needed only to outscore Ferrari by three points, and Ferrari never seriously threatened.\n\nLando Norris won the 2026 São Paulo Grand Prix from pole in wet-dry-wet conditions, beating Max Verstappen by 14.602 seconds; Mercedes clinched the 2026 F1 constructors' championship.\n\nThe Las Vegas Grand Prix is scheduled for Nov 19–21, 2026, on the Strip.
