The Formula 1 weekend at the Interlagos circuit continues with the third and final free practice session. Follow the latest updates from Sao Paulo with GPblog's liveblog below!
The first day ended with Kimi Antonelli setting the fastest time on the soft tyres in FP2. The Italian's best lap was a 1:10.763. Lando Norris finished in second place, around two and a half tenths of a second behind the Mercedes driver, and Max Verstappen completed the top three.
A week after Antonelli was crowned champion, Mercedes is ready to celebrate another title this weekend. If the German team manages to outscore Ferrari by three points on Sunday, it will also clinch the 2026 World Constructors' Championship. However, it is not a straightforward weekend for Mercedes, as George Russell will receive a five-place grid penalty for the race after taking on a new internal combustion engine.
The Italian outfit had a difficult first day at the Sao Paulo circuit. Speaking after FP2, Leclerc said:"It's been a very difficult Friday. The feeling was just very poor inside the car, so we've got a lot of work to do and probably more than other weekends. We need to changed quite a lot of the car from today to tomorrow. It just felt quite strange in a way. So, yeah, lots of changes to be made."
