F1 Brazilian GP Live Commentary and Updates - FP1
Minute-by-minute updates for FP1 for the 2024 Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix
The Americas Formula 1 triple-header concludes with a sprint weekend at the Brazilian Grand Prix as Lando Norris aims to further slash Max Verstappen's championship lead.
Carlos Sainz secured Ferrari's second straight victory with a dominating performance in Mexico last weekend as the Scuderia jumped Red Bull in the constructors' standings, but the headlines were grabbed by Verstappen, Norris and racing guidelines once again after the Dutchman was hit with 20-seconds worth of penalties.
Who will come out on top at Interlagos? The first clues will be provided in FP1, which gets under way at 2:30pm GMT.

What is clear is that Haas looks like it could again eat into Aston Martin's advantage in the race for fifth in the constructors' standings.
40 points is the margin and both Bearman and Hulkenberg were looking good in FP1.

"I'm actually in a bit of pain mate."
That's 11 laps on mediums for Hamilton but that is not the type of radio message you want to hear from a driver.

Perez is first up but he had no sort of run through the middle sector as traffic forced him off the normal racing line.
Hamilton on mediums had the same issue - neither can take much from those efforts - Perez down in 17th.

There's a new front wing going on both McLarens and a few other tweaks as both drivers try to find time. 12th and 16th may not be representative times but that's a second change during this session.

Perhaps some pre-racing data being gathered as Norris stalks Perez closely through the middle-sector.
A look into how easy it is to follow in the dirty air? The devil is in the detail, having been at a million Halloween parties last night!

The fast right-handers of Ferradura and Laranjinha, more prosaically known as Turn and 7, are probably the best pick to watch the action from. You can visibly notice how hard the left-hand tyres are being worked here as drivers flick their cars through. Because it's a fairly steep uphill section, drivers are really invited to take a lot of speed in on entry with gravity lending a helping hand.

Hamilton again comes across traffic down at Juncao, this time it was Norris' McLaren.
The Mercedes then went of at Descida do Lago in an identical error to Sainz's.

Almost a huge crash at Juncao as Hamilton winds up what looks to be a launch onto a new lap.
Sainz was trying to build a gap to his team-mate Leclerc at the same time and the Mercedes narrowly avoided hitting the back of the Ferrari.
