Verstappen wins chaotic Brazilian Grand Prix, Norris sixth

Max Verstappen won a chaotic, rain-lashed Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, roaring back from 17th on the grid to reignite his push for a fourth successive world title.

The Red Bull driver came home ahead of Alpine duo Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, who benefitted when the race was earlier red-flagged, with title rival and pole-sitter Lando Norris only managing a sixth-place finish in his McLaren.

Victory was Verstappenā€™s first in a grand prix since Spain in June and he now boasts a 62-point lead in the championship with three races left in the season.

ā€œYou know what that is? Simply lovely,ā€ said Verstappen on the team radio as he crossed the finish line.

George Russell was fourth in a Mercedes with Charles Leclerc fifth in a Ferrari while McLarenā€™s Oscar Piastri was seventh.

Yuki Tsunoda of RB Racing was eighth with teammate Liam Lawson in ninth and Mercedesā€™ Lewis Hamilton filling out the top 10.
