Lando Norris' F1 world championship hopes were handed a major boost after Oscar Piastri crashed out of Saturday's sprint race in Sao Paulo.
Norris began the race from pole position and was leading before the action was suspended on lap seven of 24 after Piastri hit the barriers at turn three.
Franco Colapinto and Nico Hulkenberg also collided with the wall in the same part of a damp Interlagos track, leading to a safety car, and then a red flag.
Norris started from pole position and was in control of the race when Piastri, running in third, lost control of his McLaren. The Briton won the 24-lap race, with Kimi Antonelli in second and George Russell in third.
