McLaren driver Lando Norris wins Formula 1’s Brazilian Grand Prix

SAO PAULO (AP) — McLaren driver Lando Norris extended his lead in the F1 drivers’ championship after winning the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, with his main rival and teammate Oscar Piastri again failing to make the podium.

Norris, who also won Saturday’s sprint race and started from pole position, earned his first win at Interlagos with Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen second and third, respectively.

Norris now has 390 points in the standings, with Piastri’s fifth place leaving him 24 points behind with three more races to go.

Montreal’s Lance Stroll was 16th.
