Norris does congratulate Verstappen: Here is what the Briton posted

As one championship contender smiles, the other is left disappointed. That happened to Lando Norris, who finished in P6 in Brazil, while Max Verstappen won the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Following the race, Norris did share a post on Instagram congratulating his rival.

Max Verstappen managed to win for the first time since the Spanish GP at Interlagos. Following the Grand Prix, a disheartened Lando Norris said in multiple interviews that the Red Bull driver 'got lucky'.

On his Instagram, Norris then wrote: "Tough day out there. Not what we were hoping for and luck not on our side but we'll keep fighting till the end. Not gonna give up until it's over. Congrats Max Verstappen for the impressive win. As you say "simply lovely"."

The gap between the two drivers in the championship now stands at 62 points. Mathematically, Verstappen could already secure his fourth title in three weeks, when the Formula One season will continue in Las Vegas.
