Interlagos welcomes F1 with Mercedes’ team title still in play

The story

Formula 1 heads to Interlagos for the November 6–8 Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend after Kimi Antonelli secured the drivers’ title in Mexico.

BBC Sport’s weekend guide says Mercedes can also settle the constructors’ championship in Brazil if they outscore Ferrari by at least three points.

A change at Haas

Rafael Camara is due to replace Esteban Ocon for the Sao Paulo race. The Brazilian has already been signed by Haas for 2027 and now gets an earlier opportunity at his home event.

Max Verstappen arrives after winning in Mexico, where Lewis Hamilton finished second. The drivers’ championship is decided, but the team standings and the fight over the remaining positions still give the weekend competitive significance.
