Lando Norris downplayed Max Verstappen’s recovery from 17th on the grid to win the São Paulo Grand Prix.
Former F1 driver Martin Brundle thinks that Lando Norris will reconsider his comment on Max Verstappen following Verstappen’s impressive win at Interlagos, where he came from 17th on the grid to win the São Paulo Grand Prix, increasing his lead by 62 points as Norris came in sixth. Verstappen’s dominant performance puts him in a position to potentially secure his fourth consecutive title in Las Vegas, while Norris would need a miracle to stand a chance. In the wet conditions in Brazil, Verstappen excelled despite Norris calling him “lucky” for benefitting from a red flag. Brundle believes that Norris will reflect on his remarks as Verstappen’s talent was unmatched in those conditions. The McLaren team, although strong in qualifying, struggled in the rain, leaving Verstappen to claim a comfortable victory with a strategic race plan. Formula 1 was praised for managing to complete the race successfully despite the challenging conditions.
