Sao Paulo (AFP) - British McLaren driver Lando Norris, last year's champion, won the Brazilian Grand Prix, the twentieth round of the Formula One World Championship, while the constructors' title was decided in favor of Mercedes with the new champion, Italian Kimi Antonelli, fifth behind his British colleague George Russell.

Norris finished the Brazilian race, which started on a wet track and ended in the rain, from where he started in the lead, ultimately ahead of the Dutch Red Bull duo Max Verstappen and the Frenchman Isaac Hajjar, while Antonelli paid the price for losing control of his car twice and settled for fifth place in his first race as world champion.
Mercedes' coronation of the constructors' title came a week after Antonelli entered history as the youngest driver to win the drivers' title at the age of 20. However, the joy on Sunday in Interlagos was not complete because none of the German team's drivers were on the podium, for the first time this season, which has three races remaining.
