Mercedes Formula 1 chief Toto Wolff felt relieved to have won the team’s “most difficult” championship yet a💛fter wrapping up the cons🍌tructors’ title last Sunday in Brazil.

After seeing Lewis Hamilton clinch the drivers’ championship in Me♐xico last🦄 month, Mercedes managed to follow suit by claiming its fifth conꦕsecutive constructors’ crown in Brazil with one race to spare this year.

Brazil marked the latest point in a season that Mercedes had won the team’s title after facing significant pressure from Ferrari throughout the year, making the success a relief for Wo🍃lff.

“Yes, it was the most difficult, and that’s why the relief now is the most I’ve ev🌠er felt,” Wolff said following Hamilton’s race in in Brazil last Sunday.

“We had such a horrible race today, with the perfect end result with Lewis winning and us winning the constructors’ championship.🎃 But I can tell you mid-rac▨e, we had the information power unit failure imminent on Lewis’ car, and the guys in the background and the HPP guys fixed it.

“God knows how you can fix hardwa🤪re that is just about to break and make the car finish. That race was just a nightmare until the chequered flag came down. And everything broke loose.”

Mercedes’ fifth straight title success saw it surpas🔥s the benchmarks set by both Red Bull (2010-13) and McLaren (1988-91), leaving only Ferrari (1999-2004) with a longer winning streak in F1.

“Being able to win a fifth cons﷽ecutive championship is something we wouldn’t have dreamt of six years ago. In our wildest dreams that wouldn’t have come to my mind,” Wolff said.

“Equalling a Ferrari record that seℱemed unachievable is something I feel so grateful and fortunate to 𝐆be in this team.

“I can remember before I joined Formula 🔯1 those Ferrari years and Jean at the helm and Michael and many others that contributed to the team’s success. That was something that I really looked up to and admired, and us having achieved that, you just have to say a thousand times thank you to all the team members.

“Generally we need to feel grateful 𝔍to be in that fortunate position."
