Norris wins São Paulo, Mercedes clinch constructors
· Fact-checked before it aired. Unconfirmed claims from this segment are not shown.
Lando Norris won the 2026 São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos from pole, finishing 14.602 seconds clear of Max Verstappen after a wet-dry-wet 71-lap race. 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.
Mixed 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.
