**Sao Paulo, Brazil -** Max Verstappen ended his winless streak in style, securing a dominant victory at the 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver’s performance was not only a win, but a showcase of raw talent, shattering records and leaving his competitors trailing in his wake.
Verstappen, starting 17th on the grid, overtook race leader Esteban Ocon and proceeded to set an astonishing 17 fastest lap times throughout the race, with 10 of his final 11 laps being faster than the next best time. His fastest lap was a staggering 1.2 seconds quicker than Lando Norris, who finished second.
This victory marks Verstappen as the first driver in Formula 1 history to win a race from 10 different starting positions, surpassing even Fernando Alonso’s previous record of nine. His achievement is all the more impressive considering that only five races in Formula 1’s 1,121-race history have been won from a starting position of 17th or lower. The last time this happened was in 2005, when Kimi Raikkonen won the Japanese Grand Prix from 17th on the grid.
Verstappen’s dominance was evident in his winning margin, finishing 19.477 seconds ahead of Ocon, the largest winning margin at Interlagos since 2000. This victory also marks the sixth-largest winning margin in the track’s history.
The Red Bull driver’s exceptional performance serves as a reminder of his exceptional talent and driving prowess, making him a true force to be reckoned with in Formula 1.
