McLaren driver Lando Norris dominated the Sao Paulo Grand Prix to win from pole position this morning.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar completed the F1 podium at Interlagos.

New F1 champion Kimi Antonelli, who clinched the title last weekend, finished fifth, as his Mercedes team secured the constructors’ title.

Liam Lawson, who started from the second row of the grid, crossed the line in eighth but was promoted to seventh after rival Charles Leclerc was given a five-second penalty.

Lawson was hit by Leclerc as the Ferrari driver passed him late on. Leclerc was reported to the stewards and picked up the penalty for causing a collision.

The points further consolidated Lawson's ninth place overall in championship, as he battles for a place on the grid next season, with Racing Bulls yet to confirm its driver line-up for 2027.
