Lando Norris extended his lead in the drivers’ world championship to 24 points ahead of McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri with a well-judged victory in Sunday’s dramatic Sao Paulo Grand Prix — but Red Bull’s Max Verstappen stole the show by racing from a pit-lane start to finish third.
In a tense and incident-filled contest, Norris won by 10.388 seconds ahead of Mercedes’ teenage Italian rookie Kimi Antonelli with the four-time champion Verstappen just 0.362 seconds behind after a charging drive, including a puncture, to a podium finish.
It was Norris’s seventh win of the season and the 11th of his career, moving him within sight of a first world title with a comfortable advantage ahead of Piastri, who fought hard and collected a 10-second penalty, with three rounds remaining. “I was pushing and it was an amazing race,” said Norris, who dedicated his win to the late Gil de Feran, a former driver who nurtured his early career. “It’s so nice to win in Brazil at this amazing track and amazing fans. This is for Gil.... My mentor a few years ago. A perfect weekend.”
