FIA post-race press conference – Brazil

Lando Norris secured a dominant victory at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, dedicating his McLaren win to mentor Gil de Ferran. Despite extending his championship lead to 24 points, Norris remained grounded, focusing on McLaren's performance and improvement, rather than title aspirations. Andrea Kimi Antonelli achieved a career-best second place for Mercedes, expertly fending off a late charge from Max Verstappen. Verstappen delivered an extraordinary drive, climbing from the pit lane to claim third after an early puncture. The Red Bull driver attributed his improved pace to setup changes and cooler temperatures. All three reflected on a challenging race, with Norris cautious about McLaren's prospects in the cooler Las Vegas conditions.
