Sao Paulo, Brazil – November 9, 2025 – Lando Norris delivered a commanding performance at the Brazilian Grand Prix, securing victory at Interlagos and extending his Formula One championship lead over McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri with three races remaining.

The win moves Norris 24 points ahead of Piastri, further cementing his status as the title favorite after a flawless weekend.

“Crazy race. To be honest, we weren’t the quickest today, but I’m glad to take home the win,” Norris said. “It’s a great win, and it boosts my confidence for the final three races.”
