A teary George Russell celebrated the first Formula One Grand Prix victory of his career in Brazil on Sunday in a one-two finish with Mercedes team mate and seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton.
McLaren's Lando Norris also collected a five-second penalty for sending Leclerc spinning into the tyre wall, without serious damage.
Verstappen was 15th at the half distance after two pitstops in which he had a new front wing, served his penalty and suffered a further delay with a slow rear tyre change. "So what are we doing?," Russell asked over the radio as the field bunched up again with Hamilton close behind."You are racing, just be respectful," came the reply from the pit wall.
