Motorsport.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen will start 20th and 21st on the grid for the Brazilian Grand Prix, setting the stage for an intriguing race regardless of weather conditions.
- Both drivers have previously made remarkable comebacks at Interlagos, with Hamilton winning in 2021 after starting 10th and Verstappen winning in 2023 from 17th on a wet track.
- The removal of DRS and the limited effectiveness of the new overtake mode on the long straights are expected to make overtaking more difficult this year compared to past races.
- Hamilton aims to simply "try to win somehow," while Verstappen is hoping for multiple safety cars to keep the race competitive and allow him to advance through the field.
- With only two races won from outside the front row in 2026 so far, weather conditions like rain could play a crucial role in shaking up the race outcome at Interlagos.
