- On Sunday, Max Verstappen secured second place at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, completing a remarkable comeback from 21st on the grid after Red Bull fitted a new power unit in his car.

- Lando Norris claimed victory at Interlagos, and Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies admitted that "Lando was anyway a bit faster than us today."
