The Brazilian Grand Prix ended like a dream. Unlike the usual chaos the race at São Paulo was known for, this one was slow-burn from start to finish.
Even hours after the chequered flag waved, the aftertaste of the dance of Formula 1 machines refused to leave.
What a race. Luca's eighth win of the season was the headline, yes, but a lot of things had built up to his P1 finish, some of them he was responsible for, others he wasn't.
Heartbreaks, duels, and comebacks conquered what was expected to be a wet race. Downforce met bravery, and intuitive strategy won positions all through the 65 laps. No driver left the circuit untouched by something.
Squadra Corse wasn't happy with the outcome of the race, as Luigi sourly finished in P4. They didn't like seeing their greatest threat take another step toward the championship trophy they believed belonged to them.
