Was it all a dream?

Many of you wouldn’t have even been born the last time we won the Constructors’ Championship in 1998, whilst even more of you wouldn’t have been old enough to remember it.

Whether you were around to witness our last title or not, you’ve remained incredibly patient and supported us through thick and thin. We’re still struggling to sum up how we feel following a remarkable 24 hours, so instead, we’ll let you do the honours. After all, this one was for you.

This is how you reacted to our Constructors’ Championship win on social media…

The cutest start to the weekend.

Morning team👋 have a great day.

Lando enjoyed a clean getaway when the lights went out but Oscar was hit by Verstappen at the first corner and dropped to the back of the field, putting papaya hearts across the world on edge.

😭😭😭😭

— Milly.f1❤️ (@F1Milly) December 8, 2024

Lando was punching in purple laps at the front of the pack, whilst Oscar was working his way back through the field, in the search of points.

Stressed 😅 but we got this 💪🏼🧡🏆

Keep the celebration shots coming, Papaya Army! We’ve still got some work to do over the next few weeks, but we’ll soon be switching off for a well-deserved break over the winter, before returning revitalised in January, ready and raring to go again. We hope you’ll be doing the same… We miss you already and can’t wait to see you again next season.
