World champion dominates ahead of Lando NorrisSergio Pérez is third but Hamilton finishes seventh
There was perhaps no little irony that, on the weekend when Formula One is putting its sprint race concept under scrutiny, the format returned one of its better spectacles. The result may have been very much the same old story with a win for Max Verstappen, but behind the world champion the race was a frenetic little affair that had the element of cut and thrust that F1 surely had in mind when the short-form dash was introduced.
Verstappen won with a solid drive for Red Bull at Interlagos, having made all the difference in the opening seconds of the race by taking the lead from Lando Norris into turn one. Once out front he was in control, beating the McLaren of Norris into second and his teammate, Sergio Pérez, into third at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace.
