With Verstappen and Red Bull having already wrapped up both titles, the fight for the remaining places remains tight. Hamilton trails Sergio Pérez by 20 points for second place and will start in front of the Mexican who was ninth, while Mercedes have a 22-point advantage over Ferrari in the constructors’ championship. Three grands prix remain, as well as Saturday’s sprint in Interlagos.
