F1 Results Today: Verstappen comeback STUNS Brazilian GP as McLaren errors sink Norris
At the 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen once again showcased his dominance by clinching victory after starting 17th on the grid, an extraordinary achievement given the wet and challenging conditions at Interlagos. Verstappen’s strategic race benefited from a timely red flag following a crash involving Franco Colapinto, allowing him to make a crucial tire change that positioned him well against his competition. McLaren’s Lando Norris, however, faced setbacks due to a miscalculated early pit stop, which cost him potential contention for the win and ultimately placed him outside the podium positions.
Verstappen’s race prowess was complemented by strong performances from Alpine drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, who capitalized on the chaotic conditions and secured second and third places, respectively. The Alpine duo managed to fend off several attacks from rivals, achieving a double podium finish for the team. Meanwhile, the day proved less fortunate for Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton struggling to secure a competitive finish and teammate George Russell forced to retire due to engine issues, underscoring a challenging weekend for the team.
This win adds to Verstappen’s impressive tally, reinforcing his status as a frontrunner for the championship. The Brazilian Grand Prix illustrated the intense competition this season, with Red Bull’s strategic plays and Verstappen’s driving skill marking a high point amid shifting weather and tactical missteps by other teams.
