Norris wins Sao Paulo Sprint as Piastri crashes out

Championship leader Lando Norris extended his advantage by securing victory in a chaotic Sao Paulo Grand Prix Sprint. The McLaren driver fended off Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli by a mere 0.845 seconds, despite struggling with soft tyres in the closing laps. The race saw multiple incidents, including Norris's McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri crashing out early, leading to a red flag. Later, Gabriel Bortoleto's heavy crash brought out double yellow flags, under which Norris ultimately crossed the finish line. George Russell secured third for Mercedes, with Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, and Pierre Gasly also scoring valuable points.
