Following his victory in Sao Paulo, Norris now holds a 24-point lead over his teammate Oscar Piastri with three races remaining, establishing himself as the frontrunner for the title.
In a remarkable performance at Interlagos, Max Verstappen showcased his skills with a spectacular comeback drive, finishing third despite starting from the pit lane due to a poor qualifying session.

Norris claimed his first victory in Brazil, marking McLaren’s first win since Jenson Button in 2012. Expressing his delight, Norris described the race as “amazing” and credited his team for providing him with a competitive car.
Although pleased with his win, Norris expressed concern about McLaren’s pace compared to Verstappen’s performance. Verstappen, on the other hand, acknowledged that a fifth consecutive title is now out of reach, citing lost points earlier in the season.
Verstappen’s impressive drive was complemented by Kimi Antonelli, who achieved his best F1 result to date for Mercedes. Antonelli remains optimistic about his chances of securing a win by the end of the season, despite acknowledging the challenges ahead.
Ferrari faced a disappointing day as Charles Leclerc crashed out and Lewis Hamilton retired due to damage. Hamilton, visibly disappointed, vowed to bounce back in the next race and strive for better results.
