Max Verstappen: “Winning here starting from so far back, it’s frankly incredible!”
The Red Bull driver delivered an outstanding performance, starting from 17th position to finish first in the São Paulo race. An important victory that brings him closer to winning the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship.
The Red Bull driver has found his smile again. After a mediocre qualifying session, Max Verstappen, penalized five places on the grid, had stormed out of his car in frustration. Only a few hours later, it’s a different story. The one who started 17th fought his way back to the top of the leaderboard and finally triumphed at Interlagos.
In a tense climate, he demonstrated his piloting skills, he who is quite comfortable in the rain, once again confirmed and did not waver. After the race, the winner of the São Paulo Grand Prix expressed himself about the race. My emotions today were like a rollercoaster. We managed to stay calm, but then we were flying. Winning here starting from so far back is crazy. It was very difficult to overtake here. I had confidence in the brakes.
Already a triple world champion, Max Verstappen can secure a 4th title in the next race, in Las Vegas, on November 24th. With his 25 points earned in Brazil, he is 62 points behind McLaren driver Lando Norris. To achieve this, all he has to do is finish ahead of Lando Norris, regardless of the position, in two weeks.
