Overview
- Lando Norris enters Brazil one point ahead of Oscar Piastri, with Max Verstappen 36 points adrift and 116 still available across four rounds including two sprints.
- Verstappen says he needs “a little bit of luck” to overhaul McLaren, feels no pressure, and credits Red Bull’s turnaround after three wins in the last five races.
- Oscar Piastri dismisses suggestions of McLaren favouritism or sabotage, saying he feels very comfortable standing up for himself and that recent issues are explainable.
- Piastri cites circuit characteristics and softer-tyre behaviour in Austin and Mexico, plus required driving‑style tweaks, as factors behind his recent performance dip.
- Norris insists his approach will not change after his dominant Mexico win, setting a target of winning each remaining weekend to close out his first title bid.
