Max Verstappen delivered a Formula 1 masterclass at the Brazilian Grand Prix, charging from 17th on the grid to secure a jaw-dropping victory—and move one step closer to his fourth consecutive world title!
In a race packed with nail-biting drama, Verstappen sliced through the field like a \"Need for Speed\" pro, jumping to 9th within five laps. Rain chaos later reshuffled strategies, with rivals swapping tires while the Red Bull ace held firm. By Lap 33, the race was halted—but the Dutch dynamo sealed his comeback post-restart, claiming the lead for good.
He finished a whopping 19.4 seconds ahead, snagging the fastest lap bonus. With three races left, Verstappen now leads Lando Norris—who started on pole but fell to 6th—by 62 points. Talk about pressure!
Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly rounded out the podium, while China’s Zhou Guanyu finished 15th. Verstappen’s São Paulo stunner? Pure Netflix-worthy drama.
