Verstappen’s brilliant win in the rain at the Brazilian Grand Prix means he has one hand on the championship trophy as Lando Norris’ challenge faltered in Sao Paulo

The reigning Formula One world champion was in unfamiliar territory: Starting seventeenth on the grid, with only two cars behind him (and one in the pit lane), and his title rival, Lando Norris, way, way ahead of him on pole position.

Max Verstappen had an “amazing” race in Brazil as he stormed from 17th to first, but what also amazed Juan Pablo Montoya was how no one challenged him. Even Esteban Ocon did not try despite the victory being on the line.

Lando Norris insists Max Verstappen “got lucky” after the Dutchman claimed a sensational win at the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday. Norris, who started on pole position, lost the lead at the start to George Russell with both British drivers dropping places after pitting just before a red flag.
