A downpour, red flags, and the incredible Verstappen. A crazy race in Brazil
This weekend provided Formula 1 fans with a rollercoaster of emotions. On Saturday, the qualifying session for the Brazilian Grand Prix was canceled, and on Sunday, it was interrupted by red flags five times—tying a record.
The race itself also experienced red flags and restarts, primarily due to the weather conditions—rain and a wet track hampered the drivers throughout the event.
Incredible Max Verstappen moved closer to his fourth consecutive World Championship title. Starting from 17th on the grid, the Red Bull driver managed to secure a record-breaking victory, as he now holds wins from ten different starting positions.
With three Grands Prix left in the season, Verstappen now leads Lando Norris by 62 points, raising suspicions that the title race might already be over.
