00:00Lando Norris' already slim world title hopes were crushed at the Sao Paolo Grand Prix by
00:07a performance for the ages from Max Verstappen.
00:11The Red Bull driver won from 17th on the grid.
00:14It was a masterclass, a day when he was head and shoulders above his rivals.
00:19And what he had achieved was not lost on him.
00:21It was, he said, definitely the best of his 62 wins.
00:25You would argue it was a drive to be ranked among the greatest wet-weather drives in history.
00:31It was a fitting way, finally, to end a victory drought for Verstappen that dates back to
00:35the Spanish Grand Prix in June, 11 races ago.
00:39Although Norris was closing in slowly in the intervening period, and did so again with
00:44victory in the sprint race in Sao Paolo on Saturday, Verstappen's stunning win, along
00:48with Norris' sixth place, extended the Dutchman's lead to 62 points.
00:54There are only 86 still available in the remaining three races.
