Max Verstappen has won the Sao Paulo Grand Prix in dominant fashion. The Dutchman barely got into trouble in Sao Paulo, scoring his 17th victory of the 2023 F1 season.

"The starts were very important today. Both of them were very good. After that the whole race was about the management of the tyres. We were good on any tyre, but I think especially that middle stint we could create a bit of a gap, and I thought that was very strong there." Verstappen told Mark Webber after the race.

Asked if he was not slightly bored at the lead, Verstappen said the following. "It all looked quite good, but with the high degredation around here you were constantly correcting the car, so your focus always needed to be there, but luckily it worked out great today."

Verstappen is also already looking ahead to the next Grand Prix after his victory: "Yes, a very different from this one. A streat circuit, it will be full of surprises for sure."
