Norris wins São Paulo GP as Verstappen rises from 21st

Lando Norris converted pole position into victory at Interlagos, finishing comfortably clear of Max Verstappen in a rain-affected São Paulo Grand Prix. Norris slipped to third at the start but regained the lead after a rare spin from Kimi Antonelli, and then controlled the race from there.

Verstappen was the standout performer, gaining nine positions on the opening lap in wet conditions and timing his switch to slick tyres well as the track dried. Isack Hadjar was told to hand second place back to his teammate on lap 38, after Antonelli's repeated spins had opened the way to the podium.

Lewis Hamilton had a difficult afternoon after an early climb to ninth, with Ferrari's intermediate tyre pressures blamed for rapid degradation and a pit-wall communication error later leading to a spin. Mercedes secured the constructors' championship without either driver on the podium.
