Mercedes F1 constructors’ title São Paulo Grand Prix, Digi Mart USA News (São Paulo, Brazil): Kimi Antonelli, the new world champion, paid tribute to the 2,500 personnel at his Mercedes team after they secured the F1 constructors’ title in São Paulo, describing them as an amazing group of people.
The race at Interlagos was won by McLaren’s Lando Norris, but with Antonelli finishing fifth and his teammate George Russell fourth, it was enough to seal a first constructors’ title for Mercedes since 2021 and their first drivers’ and constructors’ double since 2020.
Antonelli, in only his second season in F1, said the titles had been very much a team effort at the company’s factory in Brackley and its engine manufacturing base in Brixworth. “They all deserve it, incredible year by everyone,” the Italian driver said.
“Not only all the people here at the track but all the people back at the factory in Brackley and Brixworth. They’ve done an incredible year.”
“It’s an amazing group of people who push every day to do their best and give us the best opportunity to fight for wins and championships,” he added. “This year they’ve done an incredible job and that’s why they deserve this championship.”
Norris, the defending world champion this season, was pleased with his victory, McLaren’s first since the Dutch Grand Prix in August and only their third this year in a race where Mercedes were on top. He said he hoped it would indicate his team was on course to be more competitive next season.
“I just want to win very badly,” Norris said. “I want to be able to have a car we can fight for world championships with, which we’ve not had throughout this year.”
“There’s been certain moments where we had a car where we could fight for wins and we did it today. We did it in a few other races this season but it’s not good enough,” he said.
“You need a car that can fight through a whole year and you need a consistent car, you need one where you can deliver week after week. That’s something we’re still working on.”
