Formula 1 MSC Cruises Grande Prêmio de São Paulo 2025

[IforceV8]

NOR newest set of tires are 9 laps old.

 

[Blitz24]

I think VER will end up P2 at the end of all of these stops.

As of this second with 21 laps to go, he will be 4 to 6 seconds ahead whenever Norris pits. The longer Norris goes now, the more time he might lose to Max.

Norris is in now. Used mediums at 2.2 seconds but behind Piastri.

 

[Fezzik]

McLaren team orders incoming.

Oh boo, they pitted Oscar instead.

 

[Veinz]

A safety car would be amazing right now

 

[Jimlaad43]

Then maybe he should have braked 50m later and just bashed Kimi off track to be ahead at the apex.

Yes, because that is how Max races and how the FIA doesn't want to penalise him for bad driving so it's apparently allowed.

 

[PaMu1337]

8 seconds is quite a lot. Can Verstappen actually win this from the pitlane?!

Nope.

Max and Oscar on fresh softs and charging

 

[Blitz24]

13 seconds gap on Max. Odds are that's the win for Norris.

Oscar is on mediums, isn't he?

Oscar is on mediums no?

 

[IforceV8]

Oscar is on mediums no?

Yes, 9 lap old when they were changed.

 

[Fezzik]

Oscar is on mediums no?

Yes mediums sorry, but doesn’t seem to matter so far.

 

[Blitz24]

Max MIGHT get 2nd. First is out of reach unless Norris stumbles.

 

[Jimlaad43]

So while Max is looking at the podium from the Pitlane, Tsunoda is STILL in last place. It's not looking good for Yuki to stay on the grid next year.

Yuki didn't help himself by bonking around.

Yuki is still running the setup that didn't work for Max in qualy, I think

 

[Blitz24]

Max's tires fell off.

 

[PaMu1337]

Max's tires fell off.

Obviously. They always were going to.
The target is P2, not a win.

 

[-Fred-]

At this rate I don't think he'll get by Antonelli. Still, pitlane start to P3 is quite the achievement.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Come on Antonelli, he's driving turn 2 and 3 really well.

 

[Fezzik]

Isn’t it more fun when it’s not just a 1 stop snorefest?

Good drive by Kimi to keep P2.

Championship over.

 

[PaMu1337]

That was quite the train at the end 😅

Interlagos always delivers

 

[Blitz24]

1. Norris
2. Antonelli
3. Verstappen
4. Russell
5. Piastri
6. Bearman
7. Lawson
8. Hadjar
9. Hulkenberg
10. Gasly

 

[GlamFM]

Perfect result for Lando.
Amazing race from Kimi.
Incredible recovery drive from Max.

Good stuff. See you in two weeks.

 

[PaMu1337]

Lando didn't sound particularly happy

 

[McLaren]

Mega drive by Kimi. Well done to Lando.

Definitely one of the best races of the season.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Fantastic drive by Lando
Great drive by Antonelli
Champions drive by Max
Good job by Russell
Piastri's championship is in trouble. That engine failure by Norris in Zandvoort is making this title be closer than it should be as we head to the end of the season.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Great race

Terrible times for Ferrari

 

[Sum1s2pid]

That was a pretty good race! Lots of nice moves everywhere.

Nice win for Lando. Shame about Piastri, but that lock up into Turn 1 was a bit too ambitious.

Kimi did a great job keeping his head down and holding on to P2, as did George with his P4.

Max found a way to drag his Red Bull from the pitlane to P3. Jesus. I thought he'd be lucky to break in to the points, period.

Solid day for Bearman, Hulk, Gasly, and the Racing Bulls.

Bummer that Ferrari is losing chunks of points in the WDC.
