2024 Brazilian Grand Prix: Verstappen wins a more than chaotic race… Ocon and Gasly on the podium!

This Sunday, it was at Interlagos that Max Verstappen returned to victoryand this after 133 days of waiting that became unbearable for the three-time world champion. The Dutchman won after a particularly eventful race, marked by heavy rain and numerous off-piste eventsincluding that of Lance Stroll from the formation lap, and which necessitated the interruption of the departure procedure. Much later, the race was also interrupted a second timethis time by a red flag deployed following Franco Colapinto's exit from the track. Et it was then that Max Verstappen finally took the advantage of a race led for a long time by George Russellthen Esteban Ocon, whose Lion only folded on the restart. But what does it matter for the Frenchman who, although he saw victory slip through his fingers, still finished 2nd in front of his teammatePierre Gasly. A magnificent and unexpected performance from Alpinethat it would almost eclipse the victory of the Red Bull driver.
