US EditionNorris wins Brazilian Grand Prix sprint race, widens lead over Piastri to 9 points
- On Saturday at Interlagos, Oscar Piastri crashed out of the sprint race, handing further championship initiative to rival and teammate Lando Norris.
- A radio message suggested Lando Norris ran slightly wide at a kerb, dispersing standing water and causing wet grip issues that led Oscar Piastri, Nico Hülkenberg, and Franco Colapinto to spin at Turn 3, Interlagos.
- Race control halted the session on lap eight of 24 after Franco Colapinto damaged the barrier, and Max Verstappen was fourth at the stoppage, worth four points as it stands.
- Lando Norris now heads the championship by a single point, while the result is another setback for Oscar Piastri, whose 15-race lead ended two weeks ago and has not won since.
- Looking at the season-long arc, Oscar Piastri's form has spiralled since his last podium at Monza, after leading Norris by 24 points following the Dutch Grand Prix.
