Max Verstappen Went From 16th To 3rd At The End Of The Brazil GP And It Was Awesome
After multiple red flags and numerous safety cars at today’ rain-hit Brazilian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton took victory ahead of Nico Rosberg and Max Verstappen.
That keeps the title race ahead until the final round at Abu Dhabi, but what we’re more interested in is how Red Bull driver Verstappen even got to third: 14 laps later, he was in 16th.
After a gamble on intermediate tyres didn’t pay off, Verstappen was forced to pit for full wets from fifth, putting him way down the order. He benefited from several drivers ahead pitting shortly after emerging from the pit land, but still had lots of work to do, cutting through the field and claiming a sensational third.
Here are some highlights from what is easily the drive of the season:
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Well, SPEED AND POWERRRR!!!!!!!
Honestly would’ve won the race if it wasn’t for that pit stop.
Best thing in the race, is Vettel asking for a Red flag instead of a blue flag….atleast something red worth showing on the TV this year…
Where is his incredible save?
And I think we can confirm that Verstappen and Vettel aren’t best friends lol
Hamilton v Vestappen v Ricciardo next year fighting for race wins and the title. Maybe even the McLarens and Ferraris.
Don’t forget about that epic save! Something I noticed was he kept trying the track while the SC was on the track, I suppose he did that to find these unusual lines he used to go so quickly. What a drive!
See for me, what Perez did there was just as impressive and I can’t imagine Max doing the same. It would have been so easy to gently push Max off the track as MV did to Vettel but he did not.
He’s a fantastic driver, there was no Verstapping him
He was listening to Eurobeat that is the reason why he overtook so many drivers
