Kimi Antonelli reaches Turn 1 in the lead, then spins away his advantage. Lando Norris takes over at the front, but the wet São Paulo Grand Prix gives Mercedes something to celebrate anyway: the constructors' championship.

FORMULA 1's "Race Highlights | 2026 Sao Paulo Grand Prix" had drawn more than three million views within eight hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos. The comments are unusually busy too, with Max Verstappen's climb through the field and Liam Lawson's overtakes drawing particular attention.

Antonelli initially gets the better launch, while Lawson slips inside Norris to take second. Norris wins that position back before the leader's spin opens the way to victory. Behind them, Verstappen works his way past Lewis Hamilton and later Antonelli, eventually finishing runner-up, with Isack Hadjar completing the podium.

Keeping the car pointed the right way becomes a story of its own. George Russell spins on the pit exit while warming his tyres and scrapes the barrier. Hamilton later loses his Ferrari on slick tyres in the wet, but recovers without hitting anything.

Viewers single out Lawson's early move on Norris, while several describe Interlagos as a circuit that still delivers an old-fashioned racing spectacle. The channel's accompanying uploads extend the celebrations beyond the chequered flag, including a podium clip of Toto Wolff enjoying Mercedes' title success.
