    Mercedes clinch sixth successive constructors' title

    There was a new record of a sixth consecutive world championship double for Mercedes. The result also secured the constructors' title for Mercedes with four races to go. Interestingly, Hamilton has not quite won the drivers' championship yet. However, nobody other than Bottas can catch him. This, in turn, guarantees a Mercedes driver will be world champion this season.
