- World champion earns 17th grand prix victory this season
- Lando Norris in second as Fernando Alonso wins battle
Max Verstappen won the São Paulo Grand Prix with a controlled, dominant run from pole to flag, untroubled in Brazil as he swept to another victory for Red Bull. He comfortably beat the McLaren of Lando Norris into second and the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso in third.
For Mercedes, their recent resurgence proved to be something of a false dawn as Lewis Hamilton once more struggled with their car and could manage only eighth. Red Bull’s Sergio Pérez was fourth, pipped to the finish line by Alonso, and Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll in fifth.
