Lando Norris kept his composure through a chaotic S\u00e3o Paulo Grand Prix to claim back-to-back victories in Brazil before a late downpour swept across Interlagos, doing little to dampen Mercedes\u2019 spirits as the team finally ended its five-year Constructors\u2019 Championship drought.<\/p>\n
Mixed conditions and an unpredictable starting order were always going to make for a chaotic S\u00e3o Paulo outing, but few could have anticipated the immediate gains Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen would make when the five lights went out.<\/p>\n
With grip at a premium into Turn 1, Hamilton struck gold on the opening lap, carving his way through the field from P20 to P9 as he picked his way around the outside of the intermediate-tyre runners through the first sector.<\/p>\n
Verstappen was close behind, making up 10 positions himself as the pair capitalised on the treacherous conditions to launch their recovery drives, but Hamilton\u2019s early charge quickly lost momentum, with the duo swapping positions on Lap 4 as the Ferrari driver\u2019s rear tyres began to give way.<\/p>\n
A Mexico City rematch had the Ferrari pit wall watching nervously as the teammates found themselves battling over 12th place, with Charles Leclerc ultimately coming out on top in the intra-team fight, while Hamilton was already on the radio pushing to take an early gamble on the slick tyres.<\/p>\n
The slippery conditions at Turn 12 left Ferrari hesitant, so it wasn\u2019t until Lap 15 that the Italian outfit finally pulled the trigger, calling Hamilton in for what proved to be the perfect crossover point from the intermediate tyre to the soft compound tyre.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The seven-time world champion rejoined the action in P20 and instantly recorded purple sectors, prompting the front-runners to follow suit on their next tour of the Aut\u00f3todromo Jos\u00e9 Carlos Pace.<\/p>\n
The lead order prior to the first round of pitstops had settled with Kimi Antonelli in the lead, followed by Norris, George Russell, the two Red Bull drivers, and, most notably, Liam Lawson.<\/p>\n
As the race roared to life, the Racing Bulls driver had perfected his launch from third place to set up a stunning overtake on Lando Norris through Turn 2, holding the position and even bringing the fight to the leading Mercedes driver during the first handful of laps.<\/p>\n
On Lap 6, Norris snatched Lawson\u2019s top-two standing through a tentative move around Turn 11, and a few corners later, Isack Hadjar completely knocked him off the podium with an inevitable overtake into Turn 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was picked off by Russell and Verstappen as a dry line started to form, but the demotions took a pause when the first round of pitstops arrived, with the Kiwi even capitalising on a costly error from the #63 in the pit exit.<\/p>\n
Pushing his slick tyres too hard on the damp downhill approach to the pit exit, Russell spun on the soft compound and found his Mercedes facing the wrong way in the narrow lane, leaving just enough room for Lawson and Piastri to squeeze past as he clipped the metal barriers trying to recover.<\/p>\n
The leading Mercedes was not faring much better, with Antonelli spinning out of the lead at Turn 1 and questioning whether his W17 was suffering a suspension issue before his team confirmed the car\u2019s behaviour was simply a symptom of low tyre temperatures.<\/p>\n
Giving up on an overcutting strategy, the newly-crowned World Champion made his way into the pits shortly after, but the fresh slick tyre wasn\u2019t a complete fix as Antonelli ran deep into Turn 1 again, allowing Hadjar to forge an attack.<\/p>\n
There was a sense of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu when the Italian dropped out of the podium positions due to another wide journey around the first corner, with Verstappen already into the top three after starting from P21.<\/p>\n
While Norris extended his leading margin, Verstappen\u2019s promotion brought the Red Bull teammates closer together, and on Lap 38, the Dutchman had unlocked the overtake mode advantage, prompting the Red Bull pit wall to take matters into its own hands as team orders came into play.<\/p>\n
Hadjar didn\u2019t put up a fight when he was asked to let his quicker teammate by, however, when Verstappen failed to make an impression on the McLaren driver, the #6 started to question whether the positions would be reversed.<\/p>\n
To avoid that conversation, Red Bull opted to pit Verstappen less than 10 laps later, while Hadjar\u2019s tyre feedback confirmed he was confident enough to complete the 71-lap race on a one-stop strategy.<\/p>\n
Following Hamilton\u2019s experimental strategy once again, race leader Norris pitted for another set of soft compound tyre on Lap 49, rejoining the action behind Oscar Piastri, who didn\u2019t put up a fight.<\/p>\n
Within five laps, the Briton was back running in P1 as the rest of the front-runners made their way into the pitlane, including Hadjar, who has backflipped on his earlier plans, and Antonelli, who also abandoned the one-stop strategy.<\/p>\n
However, a simple two-stop strategy was thrown on its head when the S\u00e3o Paulo skies started to open up, with the LED light panels signalling a wet track with just under 15 laps remaining, while the radio waves started to warn drivers that intermediate tyre conditions would return in the closing stages of the race.<\/p>\n
As that crossover point neared, Hadjar and Antonelli, hunting for another piece of silverware to celebrate Mercedes\u2019 pending Constructors\u2019 Championship triumph, found themselves engaged in a slippery battle for the final podium position as overtake mode was disabled.<\/p>\n
The wet conditions proved too risky for a move to be completed on the soft compound tyre, with Hamilton later spinning into light contact with the wall as he made the climb towards the pit entry, forcing the field to return to the intermediate tyre from Lap 62.<\/p>\n
During the pitlane chaos, Antonelli was noted for an unsafe release after he was spat out into Pierre Gasly\u2019s path in an incident that is under post-race investigation, however, a time penalty will not impact the Italian\u2019s final standing after Mercedes opted to invert its drivers to give Russell the opportunity to attack for the final podium position.<\/p>\n
But the margin to Hadjar only grew as the final laps ticked by, leaving the Silver Arrows almost 10 seconds adrift of the top three when the chequered flag waved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite failing to bring home a trophy in the Grand Prix, the celebrations at Mercedes were huge as the team secured its first constructors\u2019 championship title in five years, with Mercedes Team Principal and CEO Toto Wolff also celebrating the personal accolade of matching Sir Frank Williams\u2019 record of nine constructors\u2019 titles as a team boss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claiming back-to-back triumphs in Brazil, Norris landed his third victory of the season when he crossed the line just before a downpour hit the circuit.<\/p>\n
The McLaren driver outpaced both Red Bulls by 14 seconds, but despite the significant margin, Verstappen\u2019s climb from P20 to P2 was celebration enough as it marked his third consecutive S\u00e3o Paulo podium finish from P17 or lower.<\/p>\n
He was joined on the podium by Hadjar, who rounded out the weekend with his fourth career podium, totalling Red Bull\u2019s Brazilian points haul to 33 points \u2014 equal with McLaren\u2019s total for the weekend after Piastri rounded out his recovery drive in a lonely P6.<\/p>\n
Also recovering from a midfield start, Leclerc trailed Piastri by 17 seconds when the chequered flag waved, with Lawson only just losing P7 to the Ferrari driver on the penultimate lap after Leclerc shoved his way past.<\/p>\n
Hamilton\u2019s late spin contributed to the 20-second deficit between himself and the Racing Bulls driver, but after making up 11 places, the two points from P9 were welcome.<\/p>\n
Nico Hulkenberg also welcomed a one-point finish after serving a 10-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage in the tight midfield fight, rounding out the top ten in Brazil.<\/p>\n
There were two retirements on Sunday, with the first taking place before the lights went out as Valtteri Bottas\u2019 Cadillac was wheeled off the grid and back to the garage due to a cross-threaded wheel nut, while Lance Stroll suffered his 13th DNF of the year when the Aston Martin pit wall called him home with a battery issue.<\/p>\n
Rafael C\u00e2mara brought his debut Formula 1 Grand Prix to a close two laps down on the race leader, using his home event as a valuable learning experience ahead of an announcement on whether he will continue racing with the team in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Formula 1 will take a week-long break before returning for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which kicks off the final triple-header of the 2026 season with the night-time event running from November 20-22 (AEDT).<\/p>\n

\nFormula One, or F1, is the highest class of single-seater auto racing, governed by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l\\’Automobile (FIA) and is owned by Liberty Media. The name “Formula One” refers to the set of rules or formula that all cars and drivers must comply with.
\n
\nThe F1 season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held on purpose-built circuits or public roads around the world. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual championships: one for drivers and one for constructors (teams).
\n
\nThe history of Formula One can be traced back to the pre-war Grand Prix racing, which featured open-wheel cars with supercharged engines. The first World Championship of Drivers was organised by the FIA in 1950, following the end of World War II. The first race was held at Silverstone, England, and was won by Giuseppe Farina, driving an Alfa Romeo. The first constructors\\’ championship was introduced in 1958 and was won by Vanwall.
\n
\nFormula One has seen many changes and innovations over the years, both in terms of technology and regulations. Some of the most notable developments include the introduction of rear-engined cars in the late 1950s, the use of aerodynamic wings in the late 1960s, the adoption of turbocharged engines in the late 1970s, the emergence of electronic driver aids in the late 1980s, the switch to V10 and then V8 engines in the 1990s and 2000s, and the introduction of hybrid power units in 2014.
\n
\nFormula One has also produced some of the greatest drivers and rivalries in the history of motorsport. Some of the most famous names include Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, and Sebastian Vettel. Some of the most intense battles for the championship have been between Fangio and Stirling Moss in the 1950s, Lauda and James Hunt in the 1970s, Senna and Prost in the late 1980s, Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen in the late 1990s, and Hamilton and Vettel in the 2010s.
\n
\nFormula One is widely regarded as the pinnacle of motorsport, attracting millions of fans and viewers worldwide. The sport is also a huge business, involving billions of dollars in revenue and expenditure. The teams compete for prize money, sponsorship deals, and media rights, while the drivers earn millions of dollars in salaries and endorsements. The sport is also influenced by politics, regulations, and controversies, such as doping scandals, espionage cases, safety issues, and environmental concerns.
