F1: Verstappen hoping to avoid more sprint weekend heartache in Sao Paulo

Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen is hoping to avoid any ‘sprint weekend heartache' and move within sight, if not reach, of claiming the Formula One world championship at this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix.

After winning last Sunday's Mexican race, Red Bull's series leader has a 19-point advantage ahead of defending seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, but he knows that lead can be overturned if he fails to finish.

He knows, too, that at the last two events where a Saturday sprint race was included, the embattled pair collided in the main contest and he was unable to continue, or score any points.
