18:44: Strategy:
6:39pm: Ocon’s car was on fire yesterday after the sprint, the mechanics were changing the engine and some parts. Now he’s working on his car again. On the way to the starting grid he complained about the brakes.
6.35pm: In the sprint we couldn’t complain about the lack of overtaking. In general, however, Interlagos mostly wins from the front row: 16 times from pole position, 13 times from second place. Only 3 times has a rider won here from third place and 6 times from a lower position. The record is held by Hamilton, who won last year starting from tenth position.
18:29: Since last year the race has been run under a slightly different name, but if you look at the Interlagos races as a whole… even though it’s a traditional grand prix, we only have three winners at the start: Vettel and Hamilton have won here three times , Max Verstappen once.
18:26: The Mercedes drivers will be in the front row. The first is George Russell. The team is still aiming for their first win of the year, which is a priority. The secondary goal is second place in the Constructors’ Cup. Mercedes is 36 points behind Ferrari.
18:24: The starting grid for today’s race was determined by the sprint. But there have been some changes. Sainz was penalized for a new engine, Alonso received a 5-second penalty for a collision with Ocon and Cunoda will start from the pits after the team supplied him with a different specification front and rear wing and also changed the flooring.
6.20pm: The riders go to the starting grid.
