Terrible weekend for Ferrari all around. Way off the pace all weekend. Who would have thought they would have two DNFs! That’s not what one expects of the famous prancing horse. Has to be the low point of a very low season!

Lando Norris gets given the Sao Paulo Grand Prix winner's trophy and it's a beauty - and looks very heavy. The champagne is popped and the McLaren driver takes the applause from the Brazilian crowd along with Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli.
From a 34-point deficit after Zandvoort in August, Norris is now 24 points clear of team-mate Oscar Piastri in the title race heading into the final three races, starting with Las Vegas in two weeks' time.

The perfect weekend from Norris. He’s taken a massive step towards the title.

The cooldown room has a smiling Ayrton Senna holding champange and a trophy splashed across the wall. The top three sit down and are watching Gabriel Bortoleto crash out on the big screen. "Oh, poor Gabi," says Max Verstappen.
Next up is the incident that saw Oscar Piastri pick up a 10-second penalty. As Charles Leclerc goes skating across the track and out of the race, Kimi Antonelli remarks: "Ah, poor guy."
Engineer: "Yeah, boy. P2, mate."
Antonelli: "Oh my goodness, that was stressful."

The other Mercedes of George Russell comes home in fourth place and Oscar Piastri, who was handed a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision at the restart, finishes in fifth spot, 15 seconds behind McLaren team-mate Lando Norris.
The rest of the top 10 is stacked with midfield drivers, with Racing Bulls picking up double points, Oliver Bearman scoring another fantastic result for Haas in sixth and Pierre Gasly grabbing another point for bottom team Alpine in 10th.

That's a really strong drive from Kimi Antonelli and smiles from Toto Wolff back in the Mercedes garage.
Engineer: "Amazing job, whole weekend on it."
Norris: "Well done, nice race, well executed. Good job all weekend. Not a big enough gap for my liking, though, so definitely something to look at."
Another perfect weekend for championship leader Lando Norris!
The McLaren driver secures two pole positions and two race victories at Interlagos.
"That was stressful," says Kimi Antonelli on the Mercedes radio after finishing a well-deserved second.
What a drive by Max Verstappen. From starting in the pit lane to a podium finish in third place. It's been a decent end to what has been a difficult three days for Red Bull.
Lap 71/71
Kimi Antonelli twitches around Turn 10 which allows Max Verstappen to close in and hustle the Mercedes man with every twist of the wheel. Can Antonelli cling on to second place? The two are heading towards the finish line...
... Antonelli does it! Phew.

Both Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri are really struggling to really get close enough to attack into the DRS zones. There's not really any opportunity in the middle sector.
Kimi Antonelli has been smart with this and this is really mature driving from him.
Lap 70/71
Lando Norris is nearly at the chequered flag and on course to extend his championship lead over Oscar Piastri, who is heading for a fifth-place finish.
Kimi Antonelli is keeping a tight grip on second place. Max Verstappen is trying hard to unsettle the rookie but he's cool as a cucumber here.
Lap 69/71
Another lap goes by and the teenage Mercedes driver avoids losing position to four-time world champion Max Verstappen. Every marker to pass for the Dutchman is being blocked off by the Italian.
Lap 68/71
Lando Norris is 9.4 seconds away from any danger and is heading for another win in the 2025 season. Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli is defending that second place for his life but the Red Bull of Max Verstappen is still creeping up behind him.

The tyre life is going to play to Kimi Antonelli's favour here, he's going to be able to maybe keep Max Verstappen behind a bit easier than his team-mate George Russell did.
Lap 67/71
If Kimi Antonelli looks in his mirrors, he'll see charging Red Bull of Max Verstappen within DRS range. The Mercedes man is holding on the the runners-up spot but the Dutchman still has a few laps left to mount an attack.

This is really hard for Kimi Antonelli now, he would have hoped for George Russell to be able to have kept Max Verstappen behind for another lap or two and give him a little bit of breathing room.
Lap 66/71
Away from the front, Oliver Bearman, Nico Hulkenberg, Liam Lawson, Isack Hadjar and Pierre Gasly are all running in the top 10. If Gasly stays there, he'll add another point to Alpine's tally this weekend.
