Lando Norris attributes his recent surge in the Formula 1 standings to his strategy of disregarding negative comments. Following a dominant performance in Sao Paulo, Norris now leads the championship race, outpacing his teammate Oscar Piastri by 24 points with three races remaining.
Meanwhile, Max Verstappen showcased his remarkable driving skills at Interlagos, staging a sensational comeback starting from the pit lane. Despite not clinching a win, Verstappen managed to secure a third-place finish, trailing the leader by less than 11 seconds.
Norris celebrated his first Brazil victory, marking McLaren’s first win since Jenson Button in 2012, describing the race as “amazing.” Reflecting on his success, Norris emphasized his focus on personal determination and praised his team for delivering a competitive car.
Although pleased with his triumph, Norris expressed concern about McLaren’s pace compared to Verstappen’s performance. Verstappen, acknowledging the challenges he faced this season, acknowledged that securing a fifth consecutive title is now out of reach due to earlier setbacks.
In a display of impressive skill, Kimi Antonelli held off Verstappen in the final laps, achieving his best F1 result to date. While optimistic about future races, Antonelli acknowledged the difficulty of securing a win but remained hopeful about maximizing the car’s potential.
Conversely, it was a disappointing outing for Ferrari as Charles Leclerc crashed out, and Lewis Hamilton retired due to damage. Hamilton, reflecting on the team’s struggles, expressed determination to bounce back in the next race despite the challenging circumstances.
