George Russell's win in the Brazilian Grand Prix was overshadowed as the fight for runner-up in the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship will go down to the wire.

Max Verstappen refused a Red Bull team order to allow Sergio Perez past on the final lap in order to boost his chances of finishing P2 behind the World Champion.

It means that Perez and Charles Leclerc go level on points into the season-finale in Abu Dhabi, with Russell all but ensuring he will finish ahead of Lewis Hamilton in the standings.

In the Constructors', Mercedes have closed the gap to Ferrari in that battle for P2, as Alpine took a giant step towards fourth place after a disaster of a race for McLaren.

Full standings from both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships are available below.

Video: F1 pit-stops under two seconds are allowed (and THIS is why)

At the Mexico City Grand Prix, McLaren became the first team to complete a sub-two second pit-stop since the introduction of the new F1 pit-stop regulations, changing all four tyres on Daniel Ricciardo's car in 1.98 seconds.

So how did the team do this, and what changes have been made to F1's pit-stop procedure in the last couple of years?
