Worth Watching Score

8.1

Interlagos served up classic mixed-conditions drama: rain swings, a red flag, and two safety cars kept strategies in flux and the field bunched. Max Verstappen managed the chaos up front, but the headline was Alpine’s shock double podium as Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly nailed the conditions and restarts. With 45 overtakes and only two DNFs, the midfield shuffled all afternoon and pit calls proved decisive. If you’re into weather-affected races with real jeopardy and plenty of passing, this São Paulo GP earns its 8.1/10.
