Verstappen's weekend was nothing short of extraordinary, with his triumph in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix following his victory in Saturday's Sprint event. This marked his second win of the weekend, a testament to his unwavering focus and exceptional talent.

With this win, Max Verstappen further extends his lead in the 2023 championship standings. His relentless pursuit of victory has solidified his position as the driver to beat this season, showcasing his determination to claim the title once again.
