McLaren driver Lando Norris became the winner of the sprint of the 21st stage of the Formula 1 championship – the Brazilian Grand Prix, which takes place in Sao Paulo.
Another McLaren driver finished second. Oscar Piastri third – Max Verstappen (“Red Bull”)
Shortly before the finish of the sprint, a virtual safety car was announced after the retirement of Nico Hulkenberg (Haas), who stopped the car not far from the track in one of the corners. Before that, leader Piastri had overtaken Norris in first place.
On the last lap a restart was called. Verstappen, who had already overtaken Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) in the fight for third position, fought with Piastri, but could not get ahead of the Australian.
Norris, second in the drivers’ standings, is two points ahead of championship leader Verstappen. The McLaren driver now has 323 points, while the three-time champion has 368.
Qualifying will take place on Saturday at 9:30 p.m. Moscow time. The race will take place on Sunday.
