He had to share some of the spotlight with Max Verstappen on Sunday, but the Brazil F1 race weekend belonged to Lando Norris – and it now looks like the drivers' title might too.
The secret to his late-season surge?

Lovely tribute from Lando Norris to the late and much-missed Gil de Ferran after his Sao Paulo win.
"This one was for Gil, one of my mentors growing up [who died] a couple of years ago. This one was for him, I'm sure he'd be very proud of it all. I was thinking about that while I was driving."

Pit lane to P3. That is some drive from Max, even with a puncture earlier on. Two obscene comeback drives in as many years in Brazil, and this time he didn't even need the rain.
Lando Norris wins to put clear daylight between himself and Oscar Piastri. The title looks his to lose, now! 🏆

10-second time penalty for Oscar Piastri. I'm a bit surprised to be honest as he had nowhere to go on the inside, but the stewards felt he was predominantly to blame for contact with Kimi Antonelli in the incident which led to Charles Leclerc losing a tyre and retiring from the race.

Poor Gabi Bortoleto, a second crash in as many days and he's out of his home race.
Means Lando Norris will end the year as the only F1 driver to win his home race in 2025.

Max Verstappen said after his qualifying disaster in Brazil that he can now "forget about" winning a fifth consecutive F1 drivers' title ❌
Oscar Piastri, though, is not yet prepared to throw in the towel and says he "still believes" he can wrestle back momentum from team-mate Lando Norris 🟠

Piastri and Verstappen have very different views on F1 title chances vs Norris
Lando Norris is in the ascendency and one of his closest Formula 1 title challengers seems to have given up, though the other continues to believe a comeback is possible

Lando Norris handed Oscar Piastri the advantage earlier this year by being an inconsistent qualifier, perhaps wilting a little when the pressure was on.
This version of Lando is completely different. 10th on the timesheets, pressure on the last lap – boom, pole.
He's going to be tough to stop now.

No Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton in Q3 at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. That's only ever happened once before in an F1 event they have both competed in – the 2024 Sao Paulo Grand Prix!

Delay was only five minutes or so in the end. We're good to go at five past the hour.
The start of qualifying has already been delayed. Damage has been discovered to barriers at turns 10/11 which needs to be repaired. Seems to have been damaged by an incident in the Porsche Supercup race held between the F1 Sprint and qualifying.

Rolling restart ordered. Not clear why. No fresh rain has fallen and the first start on the grid was absolutely fine...
Session to resume in five minutes' time with the barriers almost fully repaired, now.
I can't remember seeing three cars spin off track all by themselves at the same corner on the same lap before! Bizarre scenes at Interlagos and the Sprint race has been halted 🚩

The stewards have found Lewis Hamilton guilty of failing to slow for yellow flags in Sprint qualifying at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, but have not imposed a grid penalty. They decided that the circumstances instead warranted nothing more than a reprimand.

Worth pointing out that Franco Colapinto has not been given a new contract by Alpine – he already had a multi-year deal signed when he joined from Williams in January.
News that he’ll race in 2026 is merely a “continuation” of his race seat. No extra guarantees than that.
