Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton will be hoping to win the Brazilian
Grand Prix title for the third time in his career on November 14.
The British superstar produced one of his worst performances in recent years at the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix as he finished seventh.

"First, congratulations to Max. That car was faster than we were this weekend and there's nothing we could really do about it," Hamilton said.
"I gave it absolutely everything and obviously a great fight with Sergio at the end but I'm grateful I could still at least get a second-place finish. It was easy enough to hold on - I've been in that situation many times before.
"But it shows how fast their car was when Sergio was that close behind me and able to follow that closely. He did a great job! Even so, I really enjoyed the race and got everything out of it that we could today," he continued.
"Now we need to get our heads down and keep working hard to prepare for the next races, they will be coming at us fast over the next two weekends."
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and Ferrari respectively.
