Lewis Hamilton Starts Final Race With Mercedes

Lando Norris clinched McLaren's first constructors' title since 1998, overcoming setbacks after teammate Oscar Piastri crashed early in the race. Norris's performance was crucial as he held off fierce competition from Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, who were vying for the lead. Lewis Hamilton, in his last race with Mercedes, started from 18th on the grid due to a qualifying mishap but managed to finish fourth, demonstrating his skill and determination. Hamilton's transition to Ferrari in 2025 marks the end of a 12-year tenure with Mercedes, during which he won six drivers' titles. The race showcased the dramatic twists of Formula 1, including a chaotic start with multiple collisions. McLaren's achievement is a testament to their significant improvement since the Miami Grand Prix earlier this season.
