It has been a difficult period at Mercedes for Hamilton since Abu Dhabi 2021, going from winning consecutive world titles to the longest winless streak in his career.

Aside from a victory at Silverstone and an inherited win at Spa in 2024, it has been a miserable season for Hamilton who has been outpaced by his team-mate George Russell in most qualifying sessions this year.

Can Lewis Hamilton win at Interlagos?

The Brit was made an honorary citizen of Brazil in 2022, a proud moment for Hamilton whose F1 hero Ayrton Senna hails from the country.

Hamilton is set to emulate his hero this weekend as it has been revealed that he will drive Senna's championship winning McLaren, the MP4/5B, on Saturday, November 2.
