What happened: Mercedes have won both championships in the first season under Formula 1's new regulations. Kimi Antonelli took the Drivers' title, and the team clinched the Constructors' crown at the Brazil GP with three races to spare.
Why it matters: The Constructors' title is Mercedes' ninth, which ties Toto Wolff with Sir Frank Williams' record of nine team titles. Rivals are still winning races under the new rules, though: Lando Norris won in Brazil from pole and Max Verstappen finished second.
By the numbers: Antonelli won the Drivers' title at 20 years and 68 days, the youngest champion on record. Brazil GP top three: Norris, Verstappen, Isack Hadjar.
What to watch: Three races remain this season, with Norris and Verstappen both looking to add wins before the new rules cycle carries into 2027.
