What a race. What a brilliant brilliant race. Contender for race of the year? Perhaps. Classic Brazilian Grand Prix twists? Oh yes. Max Verstappen took a challenging win ahead of the very surprising Pierre Gasly in P2 and Lewis Hamilton in P3 who is currently under investigation for an accident with Alex Albon. For much of the race Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton were engaged in a frantic battle with each other, trading the P1 position here and there around the pit stops.
The real race was lit up when Valtteri Bottas had to retire his car leading to a safety car. Alexander Albon was incredible on the restart overtaking Sebastian Vettel for P3. The Ferraris, fighting for P4 and P5 ended up colliding with each other in an utter disappointing manner. Naturally the effects of this are going to be monumental as the two have been involved in many controversies this season.
When the second safety car came, Lewis Hamilton ended up pitting putting Albon to P2. Putting fresh rubber, Hamilton quickly overtook Gasly for P3 and then went on to overtake Albon. But in the midst of this, ended up colliding with Albon, spinning the Red Bull and damaging his car thoroughly. He is under investigation and if he were to get a penalty, Carlos Sainz in P4 will get his first podium finish.

Wow. If anything, that race proved the old adage: “Anything can happen in #F1, and it usually does” (courtesy of Murray Walker—love you). There have been boring races this year, but they're now all but forgotten. Great year! See you in Abu Dhabi for the finale! #BrazilianGP

That GAS result has pretty much guaranteed that STR has stolen 6th place in the championship from @RacingPointF1 – worth around $5m…

Please just penalise Hamilton quickly so Sainz goes on the podium…
— Pablo Elizalde (@EliGP) November 17, 2019
Those emotions from Gasly. Utterly deserved. Went through hell, got himself up again, and on the podium with a fucking @ToroRosso. Nothing but respect. #BrazilGP pic.twitter.com/n53hdRb7hR
