At the end of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, with the expected winner Max Verstappen as a side note, Fernando Alonso and Sergio Perez met in the pit lane. The Spaniard and the Mexican had just achieved a photo finish, which is why, like when the gallopers crossed the finish line, the camera was used to check whether Alonso’s 0.053 second lead over Perez was correct.
