It's race day! Another installment in the Max Verstappen glory parade awaits, with the Dutchman on pole position and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc alongside. Troubled team Aston Martin have bizarrely locked out the second row, and there's a random assortment of Mercedes, McLarens, Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez further back. Hero of last Saturday Daniel Ricciardo is slumming it at the back with teammate Tsunoda.
What's going on today? We've already had a sprint and a sprint shootout, which established that Max Verstappen will indeed be hard to beat. As usual, it's hard to discern a pattern further back, and as usual the drivers have been complaining about the quality of the tyres limiting their strategy and enjoyment of their otherwise quite good lives.
Still, it's Interlagos so it'll be a beautiful, vibrant and somewhat decayed place for a motor race, exactly the kind of thing that made us fall in love with Grand Prix racing in the first place. Race underway at 5pm GMT, which I think is 2pm in Sao Paulo. Please add your comments and analysis and predictions below, and go easy on the opinions about Alonso and Ocon's collision on Saturday.
