Why Norris’ Sao Paulo victory was one of his best ever wins

Sao Paulo never fails to throw up a cracking Grand Prix and this year the outgoing champion delivered a masterful victory that I think is right up there in terms of his wins.
Winning in changeable conditions is the hardest it gets because there are so many opportunities to slip up. Not only did Lando Norris and McLaren avoid that, they were top of the class in almost every test in Brazil.
Qualifying was tricky for everyone. The conditions in Q1 were particularly treacherous with major aquaplaning in the early laps, which caught out some less experienced drivers.
