Norris wins Sao Paulo GP after Antonelli spin

Lando Norris won the Sao Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos, his third victory of the season and his second in succession at the Brazilian venue. He dropped to third after a poor start but gained ground once his tyres reached their operating temperature, and he moved into the lead when Kimi Antonelli spun.

Norris said the race was among the most challenging of his career, with drivers having to manage slick and Intermediate tyres as conditions changed. McLaren's timing of his tyre switches, including a return to Intermediate tyres late on, was credited with helping him stay ahead.

Norris said the timing of the pit stops had allowed him to put Antonelli under pressure. Antonelli had boxed a lap early for slicks and emerged just ahead of Norris, who then forced him to push harder and capitalised when the Mercedes driver made a mistake.
