The German says before the race: “Formula 1 in Brazil means - if we put it all together on a common denominator - that anything is possible here. I can’t say it in words, but this track simply has something special that always creates crazy races."

Last year, Max Verstappen was on his way to victory, but he tripped over Esteban Ocon in the race and left the victory to Mercedes. In the photo, he is fighting Vettl.

Hag he also says about the next scene: "The track in Interlagos should suit us. Kimi and I had a good speed here last year, he even managed to reach the podium, and a year before that I even won. I estimate that we should be able to fight for the highest places. I really like racing here as the Brazilians create a unique backdrop and atmosphere. They are so loud that you can even hear them in the car. You feel like they’re sitting next to you in the cockpit. It is unique."

Otherwise, the undisputed ruler of the race in Brazil is Mercedes, which, with the exception of 2017, is recording victories here, and on top of that they have won all pole positions - Photo: Hasan Bratić
