Mercedes one-two in Brazil, Carlos Sainz on the podium

Victory for George Russell

A Mercedes one-two at Interlagos, where George Russell after winning the Sprint Race confirmed himself by winning the Brazilian Grand Prix as well.

Second place for Lewis Hamilton who in the final ten laps, with the group recompacted by a safety car, tried at the last but had to settle for another placing.

Also on the podium was Carlos Sainz, who did not let Charles Leclerc pass: the Monegasque, after a race all in a comeback because of a contact with Norris, had asked the pits for a team order. Only sixth was Max Verstappen, who in turn did not let Sergio Perez pass after passing him.
