Valtteri Bottas wins the Brazilian Sprint Race

Valtteri Bottas did no mistakes and kept the championship leader Max Verstappen behind him the entire sprint race and won the Brazilian Sprint Race. This means that he’s gonna start tomorrow’s race from pole position. But the real entertainment was from Lewis Hamilton.
Lewis started the sprint from 20th due to being disqualified from yesterday’s qualifying over DRS infringement. But he gained 4 positions just from the start and by doing some stunning overtakes on Lando Norris, Fernando Alonso and others, he finished the sprint P5 gaining 15 positions.
But due to engine penalty, he’s gonna start tomorrow’s race from P10.
Max Verstappen started the race from pole position but Bottas overtook him at Turn 1 and didn’t let him pass the entire race.
Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz did an amazing job the whole race and came home P3. He passed Verstappen to take P2 at turn 4 on lap 1 but Verstappen retook it in lap 4. And he continued to be in P3 the remaining of the race. Sergio Perez did everything he could to pass Sainz but the Spaniard didn’t let him pass.
