Max Verstappen, leader in the Formula 1 world championshipwon the Brazilian Grand Prix this Sunday ahead of the French from Alpine Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, while Lando Norris (McLaren), second overall, finished 6th.
Back to business for “Super Max”: he had, of course, won the sprint race of the United States GP two weeks ago, but the Dutchman had not won in a GP since the end of June, in Spain.
“I went through all the emotions”
On the famous soggy Interlagos track, the Red Bull driver put an end to a drought of more than four months without a Sunday victory: “I went through all the emotions,” he reacted at the finish, telling him who started from a very distant 17th place. “We stayed away from problems and we made the right decisions,” he also said.
Like Verstappen, the French Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly -2nd and 3rd- also benefited from the racing circumstances in São Paulo to offer Alpine its first podium of the year.
In the championship, Verstappen takes 18 points from Norris. At the next meeting, in Las Vegas, “Mad Max” has a first chance to retain his world crown since he is now 62 points ahead of his British rival, and could therefore be titled in the streets of the cited from the game on November 23.
