Well, the drivers really earned their money in the wet conditions in Brazil on Sunday. Many also complained about the bumpiness to the newly resurfaced track. First, the delayed qualifying which took place in the morning. Several red flags and changeable weather caught out several drivers. Lewis Hamilton went out in the first session and Max Verstappen couldn't complete his fast lap due to a red flag, so they started 14th and 17th respectively once penalties were applied. Last week's winner, Carlos Sainz, crashed his Ferrari in the second session to bring out another red flag. At the front, Lando Norris put his car on pole ahead of George Russell. Yuki Tsunoda did a great job to put his RB into third place. The highlights here are worth watching. With Sunday morning qualifying and the race start time brought forward to try to get a better weather window, some teams had a lot of repairs to do in only a few hours. It was also the third race in an Americas triple-header, so some teams were also running low on spares such as front wings. Williams were unable to repair Alex Albon's car in time, so he didn't start the race. Lance Stroll went off in his Aston Martin on the formation lap and also didn't start. Back at the grid there was confusion over the aborted start procedure, but in the end no penalties were given. When the race finally started, George overtook Lando by the first corner while Max started to make his way through the field. Both of the leaders stopped for tires on lap 29 (of 69), but unfortunately for them, most of the other drivers stayed out and there was a red flag a few laps later which allowed the others a free pit stop. Shortly after the restart, Max took the lead and ended up winning by nearly 20 seconds. I'm not a fan of Max, but it was a great drive from 17th to 1st in terrible conditions. The other two podium spots were taken by the Alpines of Estaban Ocon and Pierre Gasly. That moves Alpine up from 9th to 6th in the Constructors' Championship and could boost their funding by $50 million next year. Lando left the track a couple of times and could only finish 6th. The gap at the top of the Drivers' Championship in now back to 62 points in Max's favor, and with only 86 up for grabs in the last three races, it look like he'll win his fourth championship. The race highlights are here. We now have a two-week break before the concluding triple-header which starts in Las Vegas.

EVERYBODY should watch the Dukes Of Hazzard.
