Lando Norris completed the perfect weekend by claiming victory in the São Paulo Grand Prix to stretch his lead in the F1 drivers' standings.
Norris finished 10.3s ahead of Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, the 19-year-old securing the best result of his rookie F1 career, and who was hounded to the chequered flag by Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who finished on the podium despite starting from the pit lane.
As with Antonelli, team-mate George Russell kept McLaren's Oscar Piastri at bay, the Australian losing further ground to Norris in the championship battle.
For Norris, the win sealed a remarkable three days as he was fastest in the only practice session, quickest in all three qualifying periods for the sprint and the grand prix, and he won the one-third distance race in between.
For Ferrari, the race was a nightmare. Charles Leclerc retired on lap six with car damage after being hit by Antonelli, who had been bumped in Turn 1 by Piastri at a safety car restart.
Lewis Hamilton, who ran into Alpine's Franco Colapinto at the end of lap one, requiring a new front wing and incurring an additional five-second penalty for causing a collision, eventually retired midway through the race due to additional damage sustained to his SF-25 from the incident.
