Max Verstappen leads a five-way fight for second place in the F1 drivers' championship after his charge to second at the São Paulo Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver has 279 points, 17 clear of Mercedes' George Russell and 18 ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, with three races left.
The order behind Antonelli
Kimi Antonelli sealed the title at the previous round in Mexico and has 390 points. Behind him, five drivers are separated by 33 points:
- Max Verstappen (Red Bull): 279
- George Russell (Mercedes): 262
- Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari): 261
- Charles Leclerc (Ferrari): 249
- Lando Norris (McLaren): 246
Oscar Piastri is seventh on 152 points, too far back to join the fight.
How Interlagos changed it
Verstappen started 21st at Interlagos after an engine penalty and finished second, 14.602 seconds behind the winner, Norris.
Russell spun as he left the pits after his first stop and recovered to fourth. Hamilton came through from 20th on the grid but finished ninth, a lap down, after a late spin.
Leclerc finished eighth after a five-second penalty for hitting Liam Lawson. Norris's win, his third of the season, took him to within 33 points of Verstappen.
What's left
There are no sprint races left this season, so each driver can score at most 25 points per weekend, or 75 in total.
- Las Vegas Grand Prix: 19 to 21 November. The race starts at 9:30am India time on Sunday 22 November.
- Qatar Grand Prix: 27 to 29 November.
- Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: 4 to 6 December.
Mercedes have already won the constructors' championship, their ninth.
