Lando Norris recovered from a poor start to win the wet Sao Paulo Grand Prix, with Mercedes clinching the 2026 Constructors' Championship. Max Verstappen recovered from 21st to finish second, while Kimi Antonelli led early but faded to fifth. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff called the title win "amazing," noting the team's resilience after years away from the top.
McLaren matched Red Bull's 33 points, staying 17 points behind in third. A late rain shower forced the field back onto intermediate tyres, but Norris handled the conditions masterfully to take victory just under 15 seconds clear of Verstappen. Lewis Hamilton surged from 20th to ninth on the opening lap.
