I had planned this since Brazil and wanted to do it. The team had told me not to do it, but I did it in the best way I could, says Norris who led from start to shortly before the finish.

Oscar Piastri let Lando Norris take the win in the sprint in Brazil's Grand Prix after a team order as Norris still had a chance for the individual World Championship title.

Max Verstappen, Red Bull, however, settled the battle when he secured his fourth consecutive World Championship title in Las Vegas last weekend.

On the other hand, the double win meant that McLaren has the chance to win the constructor's World Championship for the first time since 1998 and increased the margin to Ferrari to 34 points. George Russell, Mercedes, finished third.
