F1: Dan Ricciardo fought bravely, but couldn't keep Lando Norris at bay for much longer, relinquishing 6th spot, with Norris charging ahead with a sweet pass.

Lando's ballsy move over resurgent Dan | 01:17This weekend’s São Paulo Grand Prix will mark the one-season anniversary of Mercedes’s last victory in Formula 1.

Almost exactly one year on from that last win, it’s announced that it will part ways with its chief technical officer. Will it be the clean break it needs to return to the front?Mercedes chief technical officer Mike Elliott has left the team near the end of a second uncompetitive season under the current regulations.

On his watch Mercedes suffered a steep decline in competitiveness, winning just one race since the end of its title-winning 2021 campaign. Lawson started the double-header final weekend eight points down on title leader Ritomo Miyata, but his championship hopes took a blow on Saturday, when an enormous crash between Hiroki Otsu and Ukyo Sasahara forced the first race to be called off after only five laps.The barrier caught Otsu, who was able to walk away, but Sasahara’s car hurtled over the fence and down to the Degner corners in the second sector, where the circuit crosses over itself in a figure of eight.

Video circulating on social media shows a man dressed in a grey T-shirt making a beeline towards two fans dressed in red Ferrari gear in the Foro Sol, the stadium section near the end of the circuit.
