Norris holds off Verstappen to win chaotic São Paulo GP
Lando Norris has been described as "formidable" after holding off a late charge from Max Verstappen to win the São Paulo Grand Prix. Norris crossed the line 14.602 seconds clear of Verstappen, who recovered from a difficult qualifying session to finish second for Red Bull, with Isack Hadjar completing the podium in third.
The weekend was disrupted by heavy rain, a red-flagged qualifying session and aquaplaning on the tricky Interlagos surface. Anthony Davidson said on the Sky F1 podcast that Norris proved why he carries the number one on his car this year, adding that he is "without doubt one of the best in the business" when conditions are bad.
Damon Hill also praised Norris for keeping everything clean through the weekend, saying the conditions showed his true talent. Davidson noted that McLaren's upgrades helped, but said Norris was also dragging a car around that his teammate struggled with.
