    Lewis Hamilton will start Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix from the pitlane after the Mercedes Formula 1 team broke parc ferme conditions to fit new parts.

    The four-time world champion crashed into the barriers at the fast uphill Ferradura right hander on his first flying lap in qualifying at Interlagos.

    As Hamilton was set to start from the back of the field anyway, Mercedes has opted to fit parts "of a different specification to those used in qualifying".

    Mercedes says it will also fit a new engine, with Hamilton moving onto his fifth internal combustion engine, MGU-H and turbocharger.

    "I was just taken by surprise," Hamilton told reporters after the session. "The car bottomed out a bit.

    You only have yourself to blame if this happens Seb!!

    Sebastian Vettel has added incentive to beat Valtteri Bottas to victory in Brazil as he would see losing second in the championship to the Finn as another failure for himself and Ferrari in 2017.

    Vettel's championship hopes finally ended at the last race in Mexico, where Lewis Hamilton secured the drivers' title. Hamilton spun out of Q1 in Brazil and left Vettel and Bottas -- split by 15 points in the championship -- to fight for pole, with the Mercedes driver edging it by just 0.03s.

    Despite losing out on that battle on Saturday, Vettel is determined to go one better during Sunday's race.

    These so called "stick-up" Brazilians due surveillance and once they see a routine from the teams and their route, they stick em up when the opportunity presents itself.

    pff... but thanks :)
    It also increases the chance of Massa having a decent last home Grand Prix. A crash at the front, Sainz not being bitchy and who knows, maybe he can score a farewell podium.

    Why? Rain was going to make this a good one. Now it’ll be a procession most likely.

    Was predicted to be dry for over a week. Im happy to see the cars at max performance vs a rain mess. Yes entertaining but I want to see what the heat will do. Tire wear etc. Much warmer today than any other day so far. Should be ok.

    Verstappen back to the older-spec Renault PU this weekend, so no more 0.2s per lap power advantage for him for now.
