Lando Norris cashes in on Oscar Piastri’s crash to extend championship lead

Lando Norris’ world championship hopes were handed a major boost after he won Saturday’s sprint race in Sao Paulo and Oscar Piastri crashed out.

Norris started from pole position and navigated his way through the chaos to lead every lap and take the chequered flag just eighth-tenths clear of Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli.

George Russell finished third, one place ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. Norris’ win allows him to extend his title lead over Piastri from one point to nine. Verstappen is now 40 points adrift of Norris with 108 points on the table.
