The race at Interlagos takes place on Sunday and, as expected, Mercedes managed to claim pole position, but due to Lewis Hamilton crashing out of qualifying it will be his team-mate Valtteri Bottas who will lead the grid.

Hamilton will start the Grand Prix in the pitlane after his Mercedes team worked hard overnight to get his car ready following his spin into the barrier on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Lance Stroll, Brendon Hartley, Pierre Gasly, and Daniel Ricciardo find themselves further back in the grid due to penalties for engine issues suffered during practice on Friday.
