The best of the action from a dramatic Sprint at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix
Max Verstappen's showing in the Sprint on Saturday might have looked ominous but there are several reasons for believing Sunday's Sao Paulo Grand Prix could be completely different. Verstappen, who will start Sunday's race from pole, passed Lando Norris into the first corner at Interlagos before easing to victory by a margin of four seconds over the McLaren, with his Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez in third.
After leapfrogging AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda in the opening stages, Leclerc drove a measured race to manage his Ferrari in the hot conditions before catching and passing Hamilton in the latter stages.While it was quite surprising to see Leclerc failing to pull away from Tsunoda, who also passed Hamilton, the Monegasque actually took encouragement from the AlphaTauri's display. That's because, unlike the rest of the points scorers in the Sprint, Tsunoda was on brand new soft tyres.
