The Brazilian Grand Prix proved a dramatic affair on Sunday, with Max Verstappen taking the chequered flag after a sensational drive from P17 on the grid.
However, his title rival Lando Norris faltered from pole position for McLaren and only ended the afternoon well off a podium finish in what has dealt his already fragile world championship hopes a major blow.

The big shock of the day came from the other two podium spots, with Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly leading home a two-three for Alpine to rocket the team up to sixth in the constructor standings.
The Brazilian Grand Prix got off to a crazy start and never relented in action. Even the formation lap saw Lance Stroll spin off, ensuring he couldn't start the race.
This led to a confirmed aborted start and a post-race investigation after Lando Norris, George Russell and the two VCARB drivers of Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson move off the line to complete a second formation lap despite no prior instruction to do so, leading to an FIA investigation.
Following the investigation, below is the final classification from the Brazilian Grand Prix.
