The Brazilian Grand Prix was won by Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes with his teammate Valtteri Bottas finishing third at the Brazil Interlagos Circuit.
Looking at the Drivers' Championship standings, Verstappen is still sitting at the top of the top and he is followed by Hamilton.
Bottas also remains third on the standings as he looks to beat fourth-placed Sergio Perez of Red Bull Racing-Honda to a third place finish on the standings.
Verstappen is now 14 points above Hamilton and he will be desperate to win the Qatar Grand Prix in order to extend his lead at the top.

“We still have a good points lead you know," Verstappen said as he reacted to the Brazilian Grand Prix.
"So today was a bit of damage limitation on a weekend where it was a bit difficult but I’m confident that in the coming races we’ll bounce back. I had fun out there.
"Of course I like to win but I think second today, with the defence I did, it’s also satisfying and, of course, we’re still ahead in the Championship. It’s been like this the whole year, hasn’t it."
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
