Mercedes eyes first constructors' title since 2021 at Interlagos

Mercedes have positioned themselves within striking distance of the constructors' championship, needing only a four-point buffer over Ferrari at Interlagos to secure the title with four rounds remaining on the F1 calendar. The victory would mark a return to championship glory for the German manufacturer after a three-year drought dating back to their last constructors' crown in 2021. The team's resurgence has been built on strong performances from their driver lineup, particularly Andrea Antonelli's contributions to the points tally. Ferrari currently trail Mercedes in the standings, setting up a competitive battle at the Sao Paulo circuit where weather conditions and track characteristics often produce unpredictable results. With the championship still mathematically contested, both teams face critical races as the season enters its final quarter, making Interlagos a potential turning point in the constructors' battle.
