Norris takes control of title race with Sao Paulo win

10 November 2025 01:26 (UTC +04:00)

McLaren's Lando Norris extended his championship lead over team-mate and title rival Oscar Piastri to 24 points with a dominant victory at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, APA reports citing BBC.

But Norris' second consecutive victory - which takes him nearly a clear win ahead of Piastri with three grands prix remaining - was overshadowed by a remarkable recovery drive by Max Verstappen.

The Red Bull driver finished third, right behind Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, after starting from the pit lane and suffering an early puncture.

Verstappen, though, is now 49 points behind Norris and probably out of title contention.

Piastri finished fifth, challenging Mercedes' George Russell in the same way as Verstappen was on the back of Antonelli in the closing laps, after being given a 10-second penalty for causing a collision.
