Get up to speed with the list of previous winners and fastest lap holders ahead of the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix weekend
As the Formula 1 Championship is heading into the closing stages of this season, it is time for the Brazilian Grand Prix which will give us a hint of the Championship winner. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen leads the driver’s championship by a narrow margin of 19 points which could be easily overturned in a span of 1 Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton on the other hand seems to be struggling with the pace of the car and looks agitated by a lack of calculative decision making from the Mercedes garage. Meanwhile, Valtteri Bottas needs to improve his record for the final few races of the season and help Mercedes land that eighth consecutive constructor’s championship title.

Battle for the Pole Position
Flying Dutchman Max Verstappen looks set to start from pole position in Brazil after a wonderful display in Mexico where he led the maximum number of laps. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas need to tag-team and disturb the flow of the RedBull.
RedBull on the other hand has generated monstrous pace which is difficult for every other team to match. This might be the end of the dominant turbo hybrid Mercedes era and the beginning of the RedBull era.
