Wolff calls Abu Dhabi ‘mediocre’ but ‘pleased’ to finish P2

Mercedes secured second place in the Constructors' Championship, finishing 18 points ahead of Red Bull thanks to George Russell's fifth-place finish in Abu Dhabi. Team Principal Toto Wolff described their final race as "mediocre," expressing dissatisfaction despite achieving their season-long goal of P2. Russell's struggle for pace and Kimi Antonelli's 15th-place finish highlighted a challenging weekend. While McLaren dominated the championship, Mercedes improved from fourth last season, with Russell claiming two victories and rookie Antonelli securing three podiums. Wolff hopes for a stronger performance in the upcoming 2026 regulation changes, aiming to contend for a world title.
