Max Verstappen faces a crucial weekend in São Paulo to keep his title hopes alive.

The Interlagos circuit has seen Verstappen deliver remarkable performances, notably last season when he secured a remarkable victory from 17th on the grid.
Since Red Bull introduced a new floor in Monza, Verstappen has been making a strong comeback in the championship, now challenging Norris for a record-equalling fifth consecutive title.
