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.

News from Sao Paulo ahead of tomorrow's Brazilian Grand Prix: The McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris qualified in first and second for the sprint race, followed by the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc and the Red Bull of Max Verstappen. They held their positions for most of the race, but Max eventually passed Charles and Oscar was told to let his team mate Lando past just before a virtual safety car (VSC) was called when Nico Hulkenberg had to stop his Haas on the circuit with a few laps to go. Max later received a 5-second penalty for speeding behind under the VSC and was demoted back to fourth. You can see the highlights here (NB. it was posted before Max's penalty was confirmed). After Max's double penalty last week in Mexico, several drivers have commented that it was about time he was punished for his dangerous driving. He will also get a 5-place grid penalty for tomorrow's race after having to change engine parts. Oliver Bearman will replace Kevin Magnussen all weekend in the Haas as the latter is ill. Oliver will drive full-time for Haas next year. Qualifying for the main race was supposed to take place this evening (6pm UK time, 3pm local time), but was postponed until tomorrow morning due to heavy rain. The circuit is known Interlagos which means 'between lakes', so rain is not uncommon there. Apparently, the official name of the circuit has been 'Autódromo José Carlos Pace' since 1985, but I don't remember ever hearing that name until I read it just now.

The Mexican Grand Prix definitely turned out to be a race full of incidents. Max Verstappen won the drag to the first corner to take the lead, but there was a crash in the midfield which ended the races of Yuki Tsunoda and Alex Albon. After a few laps behind the safety car, the race restarted, and it didn't take long for Carlos Sainz to retake the lead. Lando Norris then caught Max and last week's battle between the title rivals resumed. The outcome, however, was different this week as Max's aggressive driving earned him two 10-second penalties for separate incidents on the same lap. The fighting also allowed last week's winner, Charles Leclerc, to slip through to second. Fernando Alonso sadly had to retire from the race in which he was celebrating his 400th F1 weekend. After Max served his penalties he was out of contention for a podium place, but recovered to finish sixth. Lando managed to overtake Charles when the Ferrari driver nearly lost his car coming onto the start/finish straight, but no one could catch Carlos who took his fourth F1 victory and became the first native Spanish speaker to win in Mexico. Lewis Hamilton is taking Carlos' place at Ferrari next year, so the win should help Carlos to secure a drive for 2025. Speaking of Lewis, he and team mate George Russell traded places a couple of times with Lewis coming out on top in fourth and George in fifth. Both Haas cars finished in the top 10, continuing their recent good form for a team with one of the smallest budgets. Lando's McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri finished in eighth, up from 17 on the grid. The same wasn't true for Max's team mate Sergio Perez. The Mexican driver started 18th, got a penalty for starting outside his box, got side pod damage from a racing incident and ended up being the last running driver after going for the fastest lap at the end (it was taken by Charles Leclerc). You can see the highlights here. Max still leads the Drivers' Championship, but Lando has cut his lead by 10 points. Max and Sergio's poor finishing positions also mean that Red Bull have slipped to third in the Constructors' Championship behind McLaren and Ferrari. Next week it's the Brazilian Grand Prix at the Interlagos circuit.

Yesterday's F1 qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix has set the grid up for what should be a great race later today. Championship rivals Max Verstappen and Lando Norris both had their team mates eliminated in first qualifying session, so Oscar Piastri will start 17th and local hero Sergio Perez one place behind him in 18th. The second qualifying session ended slightly early when Yuki Tsunoda's crash brought out a red flag and stopped a few drivers from completing their flying laps. Max set an early fast lap in the final qualifying session, but it was deleted due to exceeding track limits. In the end, it was in-form Ferrari that claimed the top position with Carlos Sainz claiming his first pole of the year. Max pulled a great lap out of the bag to get second, and Lando will start third. Third is actually a good starting place as the driver should get the slipstreams of the two lead cars down the long starting straight. Also, the pole sitter hasn't won in Mexico since 2016. If you're not familiar with F1 qualifying, you can watch the highlights here.
