F1 Brazilian Grand Prix results changed as FIA announce post-race penalties

The final and official results are in from Sunday's F1 Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos with the finishing order impacted by several post-race penalties.

Lando Norris took his third win of the season in style in Sao Paulo, battling changing conditions with ease.

The McLaren star won a race which both started and ended in the rain, with a long dry period in the intervening laps to challenge every facet of the drivers' and teams' abilities.

Norris was followed home by Max Verstappen - awarded 'Driver Of The Day' after carving through the field from 21st on the grid - with the second Red Bull of Isack Hadjar rounding out the podium.

There was a post-race reshuffle behind the trophy winners though, with some late time penalties being handed down by the stewards.

Charles Leclerc finished seventh on the road after an aggressive late overtake on Liam Lawson, but was demoted to eighth after being handed a five-second time penalty for causing a collision in the hours following the chequered flag. That penalty was for effectively punting Lawson out of his way to get past.

There were two more penalties handed out post-race, both of them for unsafe releases in the pit lane in a late round of hurried stops when the rain returned.

Fifth-placed finisher Kimi Antonelli and 17th-placed Ollie Bearman both picked up five-second penalties for those infringements, but neither of them lost any places as a result.

When is the next F1 race?

The 2026 F1 calendar has an off-week next up, before heading to the United States for the third time this season.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix will, in theory, kick off a season-closing triple-header which will also take in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, although the latter two races are still in ever-so slight doubt due to ongoing conflict in the region.

With the drivers' and constructors' championships now wrapped up, attention will be focused on the five-way battle to finish as runner-up to Kimi Antonelli, as well as Red Bull and McLaren's scrap to secure the prize money for finishing third in the team standings.
