Lando Norris has brought home yet another commanding victory in Brazil after a perfect weekend for the young McLaren Driver.

Norris claimed the maximum points this weekend earning 25 points in the race and eight points in the sprint, bringing his championship lead of just one point out of Mexico to a 36 point lead over teammate Oscar Piastri.

Piastri, on the other hand, received a 10-second time penalty for avoidable contact early in the race and was only able to finish 5th after qualifying directly behind Norris yesterday.

The real story today, though, is Max Verstappen's dominant rush to the podium. Verstappen qualified in P16 yesterday after the pace of the Red Bull shocked everyone. After starting from the pit lane, Verstappen was able to finish P3 and on the podium.

Kimi Antonelli has now added a second trophy to his collection. Both Antonelli and Russell had very strong and consistent drives, even after Antonelli's early contact caused by Piastri. This was a great result for Mercedes as they now stand solidly in 2nd place in the Constructors' standings.

On the other side of the coin, though, today was a horrible day for Hamilton and Leclerc of Ferrari. Leclerc was caught up in contact with Piastri and Antonelli, bringing out a Virtual Safety Car and ending his day. Meanwhile, Hamilton's lap 1 contact cost him his race, later retiring.

Gabriel Bortoleto joins the Ferrari pair on their 'no good, very bad day' after crashing for the second time this weekend and retiring from the race on the opening laps. This is Bortoleto's home race that he hopes to have a triumphant return to, next year.

Both VCARBs of Hadjar and Lawson held strong throughout the race, earning double points (P8 and P7, respectively) for both young drivers and shooting them ahead of Aston Martin in the constructors' standings.

Adding to the list of points hauls for some of our slower teams, Oliver Bearman has looked incredibly fast all weekend and finished in P6, tying him with Alonso in the standings. Similarly, Gasly was able to score a single point for Alpine in P10.

Aston Martin's Stroll and Alonso and Williams' Albon and Sainz, failed to score any points for their teams.
