It's time for the Brazilian Grand Prix!

3rd place in drivers’ standings battle

Kimi Raikkonen, Valtteri Bottas and the in form Max Verstappen are separated by just 20 points with two races remaining, so the battle for third is really hotting up! A good race from Raikkonen could secure it for the Finn, but watch out for Verstappen making a move from fifth on the grid!

Renault to wrap up fourth?

The French team have a 30 point advantage on Haas in the race for fourth place, but with Hulkenberg and Sainz a way down the grid, Haas will be hoping for a good start and a double points finish if they are to make up enough ground on Renault.

Sauber double points finish?

Marcus Ericsson and Charles Leclerc will start in sixth and seventh respectively and will be looking for a good haul of points in the race that is the penultimate one for both drivers at Sauber. After a double points finish last time out in Mexico, Sauber have a good chance for two in a row today.

Weather watch!

Sao Paulo weather always seems to play a role in these races. There is a chance of rain today, but not a high one. Depending on who you support, maybe a bit of rain might be good! It would certainly spice the race up…

Hamilton to put unwanted record to bed

Lewis Hamilton has never won a race after winning the title, but by putting his Mercedes on pole, he has a great chance to put that right today!
