It was the 2025 World Champion, Lando Norris, who took the win at Interlagos. Nevertheless, there was a festive atmosphere in the Mercedes pit. This was because George Russell and Kimi Antonelli had finished the demanding race in São Paulo in fourth and fifth places, crossing the line ahead of the Ferrari duo. And that meant Mercedes could celebrate winning the Constructors’ World Championship title.
Team principal Toto Wolff was interviewed immediately after the chequered flag came down and gushed: “It’s overwhelming! We got off to a very strong start to the season and that gave us the lead we needed. The last few races were a real challenge at times, and today’s Grand Prix was difficult too, but overall it was enough and I’m so proud of the whole organisation.”
“It’s taken a few years for us to get back to the top. Not many teams have managed to recover from such a situation, and it simply proves what a fantastic job this brilliant team has done. It shows that we have great people in our organisation, and it’s just brilliant to be part of this team,” the Viennese driver continued.
“The drivers and I are always on TV and in the spotlight, but so many people have contributed to this success. I always say that we don’t just have the two drivers on board as superstars, but 2,500 superstars. Everyone does a brilliant job and plays their part in such a success. And it makes me incredibly proud to be part of this organisation,” added Wolff.
