HIGH CHANCE OF SAFETY CAR
Interlagos is a circuit where overtaking is very difficult and where there is an 80% chance that a safety car will come out.
MERCEDES VERY STRONG IN BRAZIL
Mercedes has been improving little by little, but at this end of the season they are very strong. Russell and Hamilton start from the first starting line.
Both starred in a great qualifying day for the sprint, although they still need to achieve the first victory of the season in a race.
DREAM THE ANTHEM OF BRAZIL
There are fifteen minutes left before the start of the Brazilian Grand Prix race. The Brazilian anthem sounds.
RIDERS ON THE GRID
All the drivers are already on the grid. The mechanics finalize the details before the Brazilian Grand Prix race starts.
FERNANDO ALONSO, SANCTIONED
Yesterday’s protagonists were Ocon and Alonso, but not for achieving a good result, quite the opposite. The two drivers started very fast in the sprint qualifying and were very aggressive, so much so that they even touched twice: first in turn 4 and then on the straight.
In the end, the FIA decided to sanction Fernando after that contact with Ocon. The outcome was that Alonso had to stop to change his front wing and the Frenchman’s car ended up on fire.
PIT LANE OPEN
The pit lane opens and the drivers take to the track to get a feel for it before heading to their respective positions.
RUSSELL, FROM THE FIRST POSITION
George Russell managed to win the sprint classification with Sainz second and Hamilton third. However, the Spanish driver has changed part of his power unit and penalizes five places on the grid, so he falls to seventh position. Verstappen starts fourth ahead of Pérez.
Fernando Alonso is 18th. The Asturian finished 15th due to his contact with Ocon, something for which he was sanctioned with five seconds and fell behind the Frenchman.
