Who can stop Max Verstappen from improving his single-season winning record? Already victorious 16 times in 2023, the Dutchman, assured of a new world champion title, will try to score a 17th success during the Brazilian Grand Prix, Sunday November 5. He has not won at Interlagos since 2019, but starts from pole position for the Grand Prix, having won the sprint race on Saturday.
At the start, the Red Bull driver was ahead of Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) who, on the formation lap, suffered a hydraulic problem which forced him to retire. During the first start, approaching the first corner, Albon (Williams) and Magnussen (Haas) collided, causing the safety car to enter, before the red flag sent everyone back into the pits.
The French Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly (Alpine) start from 14th and 15th place respectively.
