George Russell led a Mercedes-Benz AMG one-two at the 2022 Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton finished second to make it a Mercedes one-two finish, while Ferrari's Carlos Sainz rounded out the top three.
Things went smoothly until McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo ran into the back of Haas' Kevin Magnussen, which brought out the safety car. The race restarted on lap seven, with Russell in the lead and Verstappen in third attempting to move into second by overtaking Hamilton. The two came into contact, with Hamilton getting pushed off the track and Verstappen needing to pit for a new front wing. Verstappen was later handed a five-second penalty by the stewards.
Lapped cars were permitted to overtake the safety car on lap 58 and the race resumee on lap 60, with a number of the leaders having swapped to soft tires. After the restart, Perez on his mediums soon lost positions to Alpine's Fernando Alonso, Sainz, and fellow Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, with the Red Bull driver falling back to sixth.
