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.
