Australian Oscar Piastri secured a 1-2 finish with stablemate Robert Shwartzman, guaranteeing the team top spot in the standings.
Shwartzman is the only driver who can challenge Piastri's dominant lead of the championship in the one round remaining.
The Russian would have to top all three races in Abu Dhabi while Piastri scores no points to have any chance at edging out the Australian.
"Congratulations to the team on winning the Team Championship," said Piastri.
"That's the biggest positive out of today."
"Now we are going to Abu Dhabi, the points gap for me is looking quite good, so it's time to have some fun in the last round."
"Now we must focus on the final round of the championship," said Shwartzman.
"The goal is to do a good job like this weekend, a good qualy and three good races to finish in the highest spot we can."
"Congrats to PREMA."
"It's the fourth time that we take the team championship together, they really proved that they are the best, and I'm happy to be part of it."
