F1 NATION: Norris ‘peaking at perfect time’, Verstappen’s ‘fantasy’ fightback and optimism for Piastri? It’s our Sao Paulo GP review

F1 TV lead commentator Alex Jacques and Brazilian commentator Felipe Giaffone join Tom Clarkson in the Interlagos paddock to analyse an eventful Sao Paulo Grand Prix in the latest episode of F1 Nation.

Converting two pole positions into Grand Prix and Sprint wins, Lando Norris produced a perfect weekend to move 24 points clear of team mate Oscar Piastri at the top of the standings.

With just three rounds left of the 2025 season, does Norris have one hand on the title now? What did Alex and Felipe make of Piastri’s 10-second penalty? And how will the Australian be feeling after losing more ground in the championship?

After his sensational win from P17 in Sao Paulo last year, Max Verstappen fought back in emphatic style again – this time from the pit lane to P3. How did he and Red Bull execute that incredible comeback after such a difficult Qualifying session?

Despite that remarkable recovery, Verstappen lost more ground on Norris but did close the gap to Piastri, so where do his hopes of becoming a five-time World Champion this season lie now?

Plus, the guys also reflect on impressive performances from Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman and Liam Lawson, a challenging first home race for Gabriel Bortoleto, and a very disappointing double DNF for Ferrari.
