Max Verstappen, the reigning triple world champion from Red Bull, secured his 17th victory of the Formula One season in Brazil on Sunday. He accomplished this remarkable feat by leading the Sao Paulo Grand Prix from pole position, a race that was red-flagged and subsequently restarted.
Lando Norris of McLaren clinched the second position, earning an additional point for setting the fastest lap. In a thrilling contest that extended to the chequered flag, Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso claimed third place, narrowly besting Red Bull’s Sergio Perez.
With this win, Verstappen’s career victory tally now stands at 52. He had already clinched the championship title in Qatar the previous month, and Red Bull secured the constructors’ title as well. Notably, Red Bull has emerged victorious in 19 out of the 20 races held this season.
