Lando Norris wins the Sao Paulo Grand Prix!

Antonelli goes wide in the middle sector but he holds on by 0.3s for P2!

Verstappen P3, what an incredible drive that is.

Russell holds off Piastri for P5, with Bearman an excellent sixth for Haas #F1 #BrazilGP

Verstappen out of shape at Juncao! Cost him time. Unless it's a drag race to the line he's not going to get Antonelli #F1 #BrazilGP

It's going to have to be final lap for Verstappen if he's going to get there

Piastri the same as he's within DRS range of Russell #F1 #BrazilGP

Verstappen is in DRS range of Antonelli with four laps to go #F1 #BrazilGP

Verstappen has 2.3s to close to Antonelli, while Piastri is 2.5s behind Russell for P4 now #F1 #BrazilGP

Verstappen needs to clear Russell quickly to have the best chance of getting Antonelli too.

And he does. Verstappen around the outside of Turn 1 is now up to P3 #F1 #BrazilGP

Norris responds with a personal best lap. His mediums aren't brand new by any stretch but he should have the pace to not come under threat from Verstappen.

10.6s the gap, and two Mercedes cars between them #F1 #BrazilGP

Verstappen is going to throw everything at it. He's now 11.9s off the lead. He's warned the tyres are fragile, but says "We have nothing to lose" #F1 #BrazilGP

Verstappen was 14.8s behind Norris leaving the pits. He's 13.5s back after his out lap.

Don't totally rule it out #F1 #BrazilGP

Verstappen stops for a set of new softs. This will be fun. He's ahead of Piastri and off to chase the Mercedes pair #F1 #BrazilGP

Piastri pits for mediums. Good stops each time from McLaren of 2.2s.

19 laps to go, Verstappen should be easily caught by Norris but you never know what's still in store... #F1 #BrazilGP

Norris makes his second stop and it's a clean one. Verstappen has a decent lead though - 8.8s over Norris.

Piastri between them, too #F1 #BrazilGP

Bearman pits so Verstappen now P4 and 19.6s off the lead. Piastri not trying to get to the end on softs, so he's attacking, and Norris will need another stop too #F1 #BrazilGP

Piastri gets Lawson for P6, he's 5.1s behind Verstappen (who is 2.3s behind Bearman) #F1 #BrazilGP

Ferrari retires Hamilton's car. Double DNF - very costly in the P2 constructors' fight #F1 #BrazilGP

Piastri into the pits for his penalty. He's onto soft tyres but is comfortably behind Verstappen - Gasly and Lawson also between them #F1 #BrazilGP

Norris into the pits for a set of softs. Good stop as well, but that means a definite two-stop for him.

Verstappen is now (just) ahead of Norris, and both set to stop once more for a set of mediums #F1 #BrazilianGP

Verstappen gets Albon at Turn 1, and with Antonelli pitting he's up to P4. Nine seconds behind Russell, so his progress will slow, but he's quick enough to be a factor if there's another Safety Car #F1 #BrazilGP

More pit stops for the soft tyre runners, only Antonelli still out there on them. Verstappen P6 and closing in on Albon in P5 #F1 #BrazilGP

Verstappen flying still, already cleared Hulkenberg and then he gets Alonso. With Sainz and Bearman in the pits that's P9 for Verstappen #F1 #BrazilGP

10-SECOND TIME PENALTY FOR PIASTRI #F1 #BrazilGP

Tsunoda lets Verstappen through and he's now P13 #F1 #BrazilGP
November 9, 2025 at 5:24 PM

Verstappen now P14 as he clears Colapinto, and has Tsunoda ahead of him who will surely move over quickly.

Tsunoda has a 10s time penalty for tapping Stroll into a spin, having nearly dropped it and swerved to avoid Colapinto #F1 #BrazilGP

Russell clears Hadjar for P4. He's on mediums and chasing Antonelli.

Bearman clears Lawson for P6 with a good lunge at Turn 1, and then Verstappen with the same move on Hamilton for P15 #F1 #BrazilGP

Verstappen had made good progress but then a suspected front right puncture meant he's into the pits for mediums and a long way back in P16 #F1 #BrazilGP
