Rebuild! Max Verstappen starts from the pit lane
Max Verstappen and his Red Bull team are putting all their eggs in one basket in what could be the decisive race for the Formula 1 World Championship.
After a disappointing 16th place in qualifying, the Dutchman's car was fitted with a new drive system, from the turbocharger to the control electronics.
Because of the penalties he deliberately accepted as a result, Verstappen will have to start the São Paulo Grand Prix from the pit lane at 18:00 CET.
World championship battle already decided?
Verstappen's weak Saturday could already have been the decisive setback in the title fight, with championship rivals Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the McLaren taking first and fourth place on the grid. Before the Grand Prix, Verstappen is 39 points behind leader Norris, while Piastri is nine points behind his team rival. After the race weekend in Sao Paulo, Formula 1 continues in Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
