Rallies from Pit Lane Start
Verstappen finished third in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Interlagos Circuit on Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The Red Bull Racing star would start from pit lane after a power unit change and several changes to his car under parc ferme. Verstappen would go to work right away and march to P13 in the opening laps and caution periods. He would have to pit for a tyre puncture on lap 7 and in a masterclass move of race strategy, would take on medium tyres. Verstappen would continue his move forward and into the lead by lap 51. He would pit once more for soft tyres down the stretch and make it all the way to P3 but couldn't catch and pass Kimi Antonelli for second-place. it was Verstappen's 12th podium of the season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After an overall dominant performance last season, Verstappen is expecting a repeat in 2023 after coming away with a Formula One record of 15 wins in a season and the undisputed title of World Champion. The RB18 proved to be no match for the rest of the grid as Verstappen repeatedly battled his way through the pack to finish first a whopping 65% of the time, earning 454 championship points by the conclusion of Abu Dhabi. The driver of the No. 1 Red Bull found no consistent competition with any of the other constructors and kept a firm grip on the championship standings following his only 2 DNFs of the season at Bahrain and Melbourne. Verstappen is truly the man to beat going into the 2023 season; drivers without a consistently reliable vehicle and discipline behind the wheel will find him an insurmountable opponent on track, unless Team Red Bull finds themselves facing a new, unforeseen challenge with the car this year.
