GP Brazil, the starting grid

The starting grid of the Brazilian GP opens with the winner of 16 races this season: Max Verstappen.

The Monegasque hopes to finally be able to take advantage of the excellent result achieved in qualification, having a soft new more than their opponents, but it is not certain that they will be there best solution to implement during the GP. Behind them the two Aston: very brilliant on Friday, also taking advantage of the arrival of rain in Q3, and having a lot of difficulty in the Sprint. Stroll will start third, while Alonso will be at his side.

Watch out for the Mercedes

Fifth position, instead, for Lewis Hamilton. The English rider seeks redemption following a crash Sprint to forget, as his soft tire abandoned him in the final laps. At his side, exploiting Russell's penalty, there's Lando Norris, perhaps the only real driver who can try to put Verstappen in difficulty due to race pace, but to do so he will need a lightning start. Behind them, la Ferrari of Sainz and Russell's Mercedes. Closing the top ten, however, is Sergio Perez, particularly brilliant on Saturday, and Oscar Piastres.

To conquer the points zone

Eleventh position for Nico Hulkenberg. During this weekend, Haas demonstrated that it can have its say in the flying lap, but to try to abandon last position in the manufacturers' standings we will need to bring home points. Alongside the German driver will be his teammate Magnussen, Followed by Albon and by the penalized Esteban Or with. Not a particularly brilliant weekend, at least for the moment, for the French team, who will still try to greet Interlagos with a top ten.
