ALL PRAISE TO MAX

I found this Max fan in the crowd last Sunday on the track after the Sao Paulo GP.

The Dutch driver currently sits in 2nd position in the drivers' championship, 17 points ahead of George Russell with 3 races (hopefully) to go.

CHEERS TO NIKOLA

After announcing that Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will continue with VCARB in 2027, Red Bull confirmed that Nikola Tsolov will take on the reserve driver role for both Red Bull teams.

So what will the "Bulgarian Lion" be doing next year? Well, according to Red Bull, he will "undertake an extensive development programme, combining simulator and development work with valuable track experience through Free Practice sessions, Testing of Previous Cars (TPC), selected test sessions and tyre testing."

Now that his 2027 plans are set, he can focus on the final two rounds of Formula 2, where he is in a close battle with Rafael Câmara, who leads by 7 points in the championship.

Lawson has been exceptional this season and is the "best of the rest," sitting comfortably alone in P9 behind the drivers from the Top 4 teams, and has scored 75 of the team's 114 points so far this season (he also scored 14 points driving for Red Bull). Lindblad will also continue with the team, scoring 38 points so far in his rookie season.

In Mexico the week prior, Mr Russell drove his Merc to the track, but as you can see here, he was happy to ride in the back of his Mercedes in Brazil and make eye contact with the lens of my Canon R1 camera.

We have a weekend off before heading to Vegas and I'm spending some of that time in New York at the @publichotels where they don't allow you to take a reasonable camera up to their rooftop in case you happen to shoot a pic of the skyline! Quite bizarre behaviour @publichotels Perhaps someone in management might override this rule for a few minutes tomorrow night so I can show my sizable audience this incredible view. Hopeful, but not confident.

Charles made contact with Liam while attempting an overtake as the pair battled for seventh place in the final few laps. The penalty drops Charles from seventh to eighth in the final classification, while Liam gains a position and moves up to seventh, adding two additional points to his tally.

A STRONG RECOVERY

George Russell had plenty to be pleased with this weekend, following a strong qualifying performance with an equally impressive recovery drive to finish P4. An engine penalty had dropped him from P2 to P7 on the grid, but he worked his way through the field and looked to be in contention for a strong result. Unfortunately, a spin in the pit lane proved costly, with any hopes of victory slipping away.

Speaking in the media pen after the race, George was nevertheless full of positivity about his weekend and delighted with what he'd managed to achieve.

A STRONG SHOWING

Starting from his best-ever position, Liam Lawson made a fantastic getaway and found himself up in P2 by Turn 2, having got ahead of Lando Norris, who struggled to bring his tyres up to temperature.

Ultimately, the VCARB didn't have the pace to hold onto that position, and Liam came home P8. Nevertheless, he was delighted with his performance, having made the most of the opportunity and delivered another consistent result for his team. It's another encouraging weekend for the Kiwi, who continues to show what an asset he is to VCARB.

They've led the way from the very first round, and today Mercedes were officially crowned Constructors' Champions, securing their first title since 2021.

Mercedes entered the season as favourites under the new engine and aerodynamic regulations, and they've certainly delivered on that expectation. Winning the first six races of the campaign, they established themselves as the team to beat and have maintained that form throughout the year.

The celebrations were in full swing after the race, with the trackside team joining Toto Wolff, George Russell and Kimi Antonelli on the podium. There was plenty of singing, dancing and well-earned celebration as Mercedes marked their return to the top.

VICTORY IN BRAZIL

Lando Norris has taken victory in Brazil once again, adding another win to his collection at Interlagos.

It wasn't entirely straightforward for the McLaren driver. After losing the lead on the opening lap, Lando had work to do to reclaim the top spot. But he responded well, finding his way back into the lead and navigating the tricky switch to slick tyres and then back to intermediates as conditions changed. He eventually managed to stretch out a considerable advantage over the chasing pack.

Liam Lawson will equal his best-ever starting position in Formula 1 today, lining up P3, the same position he achieved at the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

However, Liam was quick to point out after qualifying that he actually secured P5 on merit, with engine penalties for others promoting him to third. Nevertheless, he's been a consistent performer throughout the season, sitting ninth in the Drivers' Championship. An opportunity to fight towards the front of the field is one he'll surely relish.

George Russell was disappointed with his qualifying lap yesterday, despite securing P2. He felt he had a pole position lap in the car, but the weather meant he wasn't given another opportunity to put it together. Grid penalties will now see him drop back to P7 for today's race.

That will be frustrating for the Brit, but knowing the pace is there should give him plenty of confidence. He'll have some work to do, but will be hoping to fight his way through the pack and back into podium contention.
