2021 Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix session timings and preview

Max Verstappen heads to Brazil with an extended lead of 19 points over Lewis Hamilton following his impressive victory in Mexico last weekend. In the constructors' championship, Red Bull has closed within one point of Mercedes following a tough race for Valtteri Bottas last time out.

The Interlagos circuit could play into the strengths of the Red Bull/Honda package and the Austrian team would be keen to maximise its chance before F1 heads to the unknows of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi. 

But it won't be a straightforward weekend for either Red Bull or Mercedes, with the sprint qualifying race making its third and final appearance of the year.
