Norris wins rain-hit Brazilian GP from pole

Lando Norris claimed his third win of the 2026 season at the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, starting from pole position in a rain-affected race. Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar finished second and third, and Mercedes secured the constructors' championship.

The piece reflects on how Norris has grown since his difficult rain-soaked race at Interlagos two years earlier, when he struggled under pressure with a title opportunity in view. Each of his victories this season has been more impressive than the last, according to the report, though it notes that McLaren had lost form in the races between Madrid and Brazil.

Norris acknowledged that McLaren's car lacked the raw pace of the Mercedes in dry conditions, and conditions in Sao Paulo masked those limitations, allowing his win to stand out.
