Lando Norris won a rain affected Sao Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos on Sunday, converting pole position into his third victory of the season despite losing the lead at the start.

Max Verstappen charged from 21st on the grid to second after power unit penalties, and Isack Hadjar completed a double podium for Red Bull in third.

Formula 1 also confirmed Interlagos will stay on the calendar until at least 2035.
