Max Verstappen took his 17th win of the 2023 Formula 1 season with victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix, having fended off Lando Norris's early challenge for the lead.
The world champion had been able to successfully convert pole position into a win to double up on his sprint race triumph from Saturday, having beaten Norris once again in an initially close-fought contest that eventually led to the two drivers diverging. Verstappen was barely troubled beyond the opening 10 laps and, despite a Norris fightback towards the end as the McLaren driver had opted for a strategy offset in the final stint, had enough in hand to cross the line with an 8.2s advantage.
Norris kept Verstappen in check over the middle stint, initially keeping the gap at around five seconds, but after half distance, the difference between the two cars became more apparent and Verstappen was approximately eight seconds to the good when he stopped on lap 56 for a second time.
