Verstappen wins wild race in Brazil, as Ferraris clash and Gasly nets first podium
Interlagos [17 November 2019]
Having come agonisingly close to winning at Interlagos last year before
his coming together with Esteban Ocon, a brilliant performance from Max
Verstappen saw him convert pole position into his third win of the 2019
season – while a mind-boggling final few laps saw both Ferraris
sensationally clash and retire, and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton tip the
other Red Bull of Alex Albon out of second, allowing Toro Rosso’s Pierre
Gasly to finish a sensational P2...
Verstappen was a deserving winner in the race, having been the strongest driver across both Saturday and Sunday. But while he was taking top honours, it was the action behind in the final few laps that really caught the eye.
Following a late Safety Car brought out after a dramatic double retirement for Ferrari on Lap 66 of 71 – caused by Sebastian Vettel moving lightly over on team mate Charles Leclerc – Red Bull’s Alex Albon was looking good to take his first F1 podium. But with two laps to go when the race restarted, Hamilton tagged Albon, leaving the Thai driver to finish P14, while Gasly was able to hold off Hamilton in a drag race to the line to claim his own first podium in F1 – with the stewards later handing Hamilton a five-second penalty for his part in the Albon incident, which ultimately dropped him to P7.
