Title permutations: Mercedes could clinch constructors’ championship in Sao Paulo

The Silver Arrows have celebrated Kimi Antonelli’s drivers’ title and could be toasting the constructors’ crown on Sunday.

Assuming the 2026 season is completed as originally scheduled, including the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix, Mercedes need to score three more points than Ferrari in Sao Paulo.

They currently lead the Scuderia by 126 points, but must hold an advantage of at least 129 points after the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen won from fifth on the grid and broke his own record

Max Verstappen is known for not needing to start in the top three to win. Until now, however, the Dutchman had never won from fifth on the grid.

He finally did so at the Mexican Grand Prix, extending his own record: he has now won from 11 different grid positions: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 14th and 17th.

Fernando Alonso ranks second on this list, having won from nine different grid positions. Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, David Coulthard, Michael Schumacher, Kimi Räikkönen and Lewis Hamilton have each won from eight different starting positions.

Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton: 2018 vs. 2026

In 2018, Lewis Hamilton shook hands with Kimi Antonelli, who was among the children on the grid at the Italian Grand Prix as part of the Grid Kids programme.

Eight years later, it was Antonelli shaking hands with youngsters, himself soon to become the youngest world champion in history.

Who knows whether one of these boys will be a leading light in Mexican motorsport in eight years’ time?

Hamilton received well-meaning but ultimately unhelpful advice during the race

A race engineer’s job is to advise the driver on how to get the most out of the car. During Sunday’s race, Lewis Hamilton received some well-intentioned advice that ultimately proved useless.

“You have overtake and boost on the main straight,” Hamilton’s race engineer Carlo Santi advised him, outlining the tools at his disposal to attack Verstappen.

The seven-time champion asked with a sigh: “How am I supposed to overtake a Red Bull engine?”

Even in Mexico’s thin air, Ferrari struggled with a lack of straight-line speed. Its smaller turbo helped at the start and on corner exits, but towards the end of the straights, its rivals’ larger turbos and more powerful power units overall came into their own. Hamilton, however, believes the Scuderia can overcome this disadvantage in 2027.

Nico Rosberg: It’s always Charles’ fault

Nico Rosberg points out where things are going wrong at Ferrari. “But interestingly it’s always Charles’ fault, isn’t it? It’s never Lewis’s fault. In the last couple of times, in Monza was Charles, here it was Charles…”

Kimi Antonelli has no plans to race with the champion’s number one

Kimi Antonelli has no plans to exercise his right as world champion to race with the number 1. The Italian will therefore not follow in the footsteps of Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, who both took up that option.

‘I think I’ll stay with number 12,” Antonelli revealed. “Obviously it’s a very special number for me. It’s a way for me to stay grounded, to stay humble.”
