Mercedes claims ninth constructors’ crown in dominant 2026 season

Mercedes AMG Petronas has claimed the 2026 Formula One Constructors’ Championship, returning the trophy to Brackley and Brixworth for a ninth time. The achievement represents the synthesis of two decades of engineering excellence, where the teams at both facilities have refined the machinery, strategy and coordination that defines championship competition at the highest level.

The twin heartbeats of Mercedes motorsport engineering, separated by the Northamptonshire landscape yet unified in purpose, have once again demonstrated the relentless pursuit of competitive advantage. Brackley’s chassis design and systems integration, paired with Brixworth’s power unit mastery, form the technical foundation upon which this season’s dominance has been built. Every component, from the aerodynamic surfaces that cut through air to the hybrid propulsion system that marries electric precision with combustion power, carries the imprint of methodical refinement.

The livery of cyan and black has once again prevailed across a season of racing, each victory a testimony to the calibre of decision making from the pit wall, the consistency of driver performance, and the engineering rigour that translates ambition into results. The constructors’ championship belongs not merely to the drivers who conduct the machines around each circuit, but to the hundreds of technicians, strategists and craftspeople whose labour makes such achievement possible.

The championship secured, the teams at both facilities now enter the closing rounds of the season, the outcome already determined and the focus shifting toward the refinement of systems and the accumulation of further points that will punctuate this dominant campaign.
