2023 Brazilian GP Recap: A photo worthy finish and awkward grid walk!

Join Lynnette and Allison as they recap the Formula 1 Sao Paulo GP at the iconic Interlagos circuit in Brazil. Max Verstappen gave us his thoughts on the sprint weekend format but, it was another eventful sprint race weekend that started with the FIA cracking down on Pit Lane impeding. Several drivers slipped up and got penalized during Friday’s qualifying. Then, Ocon and Alonso got into a scuffle on and off track during the Sprint Shootout. Q3 was cut short due to inclement weather conditions and drivers were only able to get one fast lap in. 

Race day started with an awkward encounter between Martin Brundle and Machine Gun Kelly and Charles Leclerc was out before the race even started. A red flag was brought out just after the start due to a crash between Alex Albon and a HAAS. 

There were 6 DNFs in total which included Charles Leclerc, Zhou Gyanyu, Valterri Bottas, George Russell, Alex Albon and Kevin Magnussen. The finale was great as we saw Fernando Alonso and Sergio Perez go head to head on the last few laps, giving us a photo finish for 3rd.
