Formula 1 returns to one of the most iconic circuits on the calendar, the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace. Heading into the 20th round of the 2026 season, the atmosphere in Interlagos is set to remain intense even though the world championship crown has been officially secured by Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes. The 20-year-old Italian arrives in Brazil as the newly crowned champion, yet maintaining consistency in the remaining races remains his personal mission to solidify his dominance this season.
The paddock's attention has now shifted to the fierce battle for the runner-up spot in the standings. Max Verstappen, who delivered a brilliant performance in Mexico, currently sits second with 261 points. He is closely shadowed by Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. The situation inside the Ferrari garage has also become a focal point following the internal tension between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc after their Mexico GP incident, which hampered Hamilton's points tally.
Max Verstappen is well aware of the drama in the rival camp. "It was very tough in Mexico, but we did everything as a team to win. In my opinion, the victory in Mexico was not separated from the competition that happened between Hamilton and Leclerc," stated Verstappen, reflecting the strategic opportunity for Red Bull in the final stages of the season.
For fans, all the action in Sao Paulo can be watched via live streaming platforms Vidio, beIN Sports, and Vision+. With the challenging nature of the Interlagos track and the potential for unpredictable weather, this weekend promises drama just as exciting as previous races. Make sure you don't miss every practice session leading up to the qualifying battle for the starting grid.
