What happened: Red Bull Racing serviced both cars in a single double-stack pit stop on Lap 63 of the São Paulo Grand Prix. Both drivers swapped to intermediate tyres as track conditions shifted at Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace. The sequential stops allowed the team to preserve second and third positions with eight laps remaining.

Why it matters: Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar secured critical constructor points by defending track position against Kimi Antonelli and George Russell. The flawless pit sequence protected a double-podium finish behind race leader Lando Norris in the closing stages.

What to watch: The championship heads into the final stretch of the 2026 season as teams review tyre degradation and strategy execution from Interlagos.
