Martin Brundle praised Max Verstappen’s climb from 21st on the grid to second at Interlagos, describing it as a typical Verstappen performance. Verstappen started the wet Brazilian Grand Prix after grid penalties and was already nearing the top ten in the opening lap.

Once he reached the leading group, Verstappen moved towards the podium places relatively easily. In his Sky Sports F1 column, Brundle said only Lando Norris finished ahead and described Norris’s performance as impressive. Norris finished 14.6 seconds ahead of Verstappen.

Brundle also credited Isack Hadjar for a strong race. Hadjar was told to let the fast-approaching Verstappen through; Brundle said Hadjar then seemed able to follow his team-mate’s pace relatively easily. Verstappen finished 9.8 seconds ahead of Hadjar.
