Two Brazilian races have fallen on 9 November, and both shaped a title fight at Interlagos.
2014: Rosberg keeps the title alive
Nico Rosberg won the Brazilian Grand Prix from pole, finishing 1.457 seconds ahead of his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
His pole lap of 1m10.023s broke the Interlagos record set by Rubens Barrichello in 2004, and it secured the first FIA Pole Trophy for the most poles of the season.
Hamilton had arrived 24 points ahead. The win cut his lead to 17 points, 334 to 317, sending the title to the final race in Abu Dhabi, which awarded double points that year.
Home driver Felipe Massa finished third for Williams. Mercedes' 11th one-two finish of the season broke the record McLaren had set in 1988.
2025: Norris wins as Verstappen storms to the podium
Lando Norris won the São Paulo Grand Prix from pole, a day after winning the sprint race. It was his seventh win of the 2025 season.
Kimi Antonelli finished second for Mercedes, 10.388 seconds behind. Max Verstappen, who started from the pit lane after taking new engine parts, came through the field to finish third.
The result put Norris 24 points clear of his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri with three rounds left. A year on, Norris won at Interlagos again on 8 November 2026.
