P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Fernando Alonso was engaged in an exciting battle with Sergio Perez for the final spot on the podium in Brazil and won out over the Red Bull driver by just five-hundredths of a second at the chequered flag.
Fernando Alonso won the São Paulo Grand Prix, and his battle with Sergio Perez showcased the benefits of the Drag Reduction System (DRS) in Formula 1. DRS, introduced in 2011, allows drivers to gain extra top speed by opening a flap on the rear wing while within one second of the car ahead. The system has been controversial, with some criticizing it as artificial racing. Perez used DRS to overtake Alonso into the first corner, but Alonso was able to use DRS to regain third place on the final lap. Alonso praised the DRS for providing an opportunity to stay in the fight and recover positions, making for a more exciting race. The São Paulo circuit has a history of producing thrilling battles, and this weekend’s race was no exception.
