Mercedes Secures 6th Place in Constructors’ Championship Winners List
Mercedes now ranks sixth among all-time Constructors’ Championship winners after the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
After the thrilling Sao Paulo Grand Prix last weekend, Mercedes celebrated a historic milestone by securing the sixth spot on the all‑time Constructors’ Championship winners list. The German powerhouse has now finished the 2024 season with a total of 13 titles, matching the tally of the legendary Ferrari and trailing only the dominant teams of the sport’s past.
Per Formula1.com, the 2024 season’s final standings saw Mercedes finish with 1,200 points, a margin that comfortably placed them above the 1,100 points of the second‑place team. This achievement marks the first time Mercedes has surpassed the 12‑title threshold that had long been the domain of the sport’s greats. The team’s success is a testament to the consistent performance of drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, as well as the engineering excellence of the Mercedes‑AMG F1 team.
Historically, the Constructors’ Championship has been dominated by a handful of teams. Ferrari holds the record with 16 titles, followed by McLaren (8), Williams (9), and Red Bull Racing (7). Mercedes’ new sixth‑place ranking places them just behind Red Bull and ahead of the likes of Renault, which has 2 titles. This shift in the hierarchy reflects the growing competitiveness of the sport and the rise of Mercedes as a modern powerhouse.
For Indian fans, the achievement is a source of national pride, especially for those who followed the team’s journey from the early 2000s to the present. The 2024 season’s races were streamed live on FanCode, with commentary in Hindi and English, allowing fans across India to witness the historic moments in real time. The next season’s opening race in Bahrain will be available on FanCode from 4:00 PM IST, giving Indian viewers a chance to see whether Mercedes can extend their record further.
