F1 Brazilian Grand Prix: Norris Triumphs, Verstappen on the Podium. Kimi Antonelli and the Ferraris Lag Behind

McLaren driver Lando Norris won a chaotic Brazilian Grand Prix, which was heavily influenced by intermittent rain at the Interlagos circuit. The bad weather shook things up, and the 2025 world champion came out on top, leading the race with authority from start to finish.

Joining him on the podium were the two Red Bulls driven by Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar, who benefited from a perfect strategy. Next were the two Mercedes driven by George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli: not an unforgettable race for the Silver Arrows, who nevertheless mathematically clinched the constructors’ title—their first since 2021.

Kimi Antonelli, who finished only fifth after struggling in the rain, faces a penalty for improper conduct during his pit stop (he exited the pit lane too early, risking a collision with an incoming car).

The Ferraris fared poorly, both starting from the back of the grid after parts were replaced on their cars: new dad Charles Leclerc finished in seventh place, while Lewis Hamilton crossed the finish line in ninth place.
