Fight for secondpublished at 13:36 GMT

Over in the constructors' championship, one point separates Ferrari in second and Mercedes in third. Charles Leclerc is starting eighth and Lewis Hamilton 11th, so is this Mercedes' best chance to pounce and regain that runners-up spot?
In the midfield scrap, Aston Martin can jump over Racing Bulls and into sixth place, if Fernando Alonso (fifth) and Lance Stroll (seventh) bring home the goods in the sprint race.

Norris on toppublished at 13:33 GMT

What will the drivers' championship look like by the end of today's sprint? There are a total of 33 points on the table for any driver who can triumph in both races this weekend.
Will Lando Norris, who leads team-mate Oscar Piastri by one point after his dominant victory two weeks ago, extend his advantage?
Can Piastri take back control from third on the grid to give his title hopes a much-needed boost?
Will Max Verstappen, 36 points behind Norris and 35 off Piastri, work some wet-weather magic if it does rain at Interlagos to keep himself in the fight?

Hello, folks. Welcome to what looks like a dry Sao Paulo. All the chatter in the paddock has been about the weather. Will wind and rain disrupt things at Interlagos? The track action is non-stop, with the sprint race followed by main qualifying, so we're on a tight schedule already today.
The 24-lap sprint goes green at 14:00 GMT.
Qualifying gets under way at 18:00 GMT.
At the moment, the skies in Brazil don't look too gloomy, and there are very few umbrellas and hoods up, so we'll take that as a positive sign. It has been raining, though, so the circuit could still be damp for lights out.
Lando Norris has brought his good form from Mexico with him and he'll lead the field off the line from pole position for the 100km race. His main title rival and team-mate Oscar Piastri won't be alongside him on the front row, however, as the Australian was pipped to second by the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli.
