His championship rival Lando Norris even went as far to describe his racing style as 'dangerous', with the McLaren star leaving Mexico 47 points behind in the drivers' standings.

Ferrari emerged from Mexico with the most to celebrate, however, and achieved another win with Carlos Sainz.

Heading into the Brazilian GP Ferrari appear to hold the advantage after usurping Red Bull for second in the constructors' standings, but will McLaren be able to fight back in Sao Paulo?

Not only will they have an opportunity to earn a grand prix victory, but also a win on Saturday as the Sprint returns after a brief hiatus in Mexico City.
