This one will go into even Max Verstappen's list of greatest Formula 1 victories; a demonstration of sustained brilliance in the wet of Interlagos from 17th on the grid.
He was untouchable, in a different league to anyone else and this surely takes away any lingering hope Lando Norris may have had of the title.
Three races to go and 62 points down, he's just taken a killer blow. But partly by his own hand. He made two key errors. You can't do that with Verstappen around. Not even when he's starting near the back.
The McLaren was the fastest car around Interlagos in the dry. But the rain which cancelled Saturday qualifying and which fell in reduced intensity through Sunday led McLaren to abandon its new medium downforce wing - which had helped it to a team orders-assisted 1-2 in the sprint after locking out the front row.
In those conditions the Red Bull was about on a par with the Ferrari - and Verstappen spent most of that race pressuring Charles Leclerc for third, finally making it past, only to then be penalised back to fourth for a VSC restart infringement.
Point was, although he'd been close enough to the McLarens to apply a bit of pressure, it was no more than that. The McLarens had pace in hand, as had been evident in sprint qualifying.
But a bigger wing was deemed necessary for the predicted wet conditions of the grand prix proper.
Norris remained fast on this - but his advantage was definitely reduced. His pole was almost matched by the Mercedes of an overachieving George Russell, despite the latter's bumpy ride.
The Red Bull was probably quicker than either in those conditions (though that advantage was definitely amplified by Verstappen himself) but things hadn't worked out in qualifying.
The crazy conditions of grand prix qualifying and the timing of a red flag (for a crashing Lance Stroll) caught Red Bull out, leaving Verstappen only 12th fastest. Which became 17th after his power unit penalty.
Well, the 17th grid slot but 16th car on the grid - as the Williams of Alex Albon (crashed after qualifying seventh) was not there.
In Q1, Verstappen had gone fastest and Norris had scraped through by the skin of his teeth - but that was all a little random given the crazy conditions. Those qualifying fortunes were ultimately transposed, leaving Norris sitting on pole with a quick car and his rival many rows behind.
But with Norris's big wing, he was going to be slow on the straights. Of the top four cars the McLaren was the slowest at the end of the straights, the Mercedes the fastest. Norris desperately needed to retain track position off the grid, especially with DRS being unavailable because of the conditions. He did not.
After making a bit of a nervy mess of the aborted start (caused by Stroll crashing again, this time on the formation lap), Norris lost out at the start proper to Russell.
For the next 30-odd laps Norris was stuck behind a car which was probably a couple of tenths slower. For a time this seemed like it was going to be very damaging, as Verstappen was catching fast.
Max had instinctively put himself in all the right places on the first lap and drivers of the slower cars he was initially among were not about to make life too difficult for him as he came through.
