Pitwall

Only he knows how to lunge out of nowhere!

Eddie Irvine turns 61 today, and in his first Grand Prix, at Suzuka in 1993, he scored a point and then got punched by the winner, Ayrton Senna.

Kimi has won nine Grands Prix in his second season, more than any driver before him, and he still has three races left to add to it.

Lance has not scored a point in 20 races this year, and he scored in every one of his nine seasons before this one.

Max and Lando have now won the last four races at Interlagos, two each.

Mercedes sealed the constructors' title at Interlagos with George fourth and Kimi fifth, and the last team to seal it without a podium was Brawn, at Interlagos in 2009.

Lewis finished in the top ten for the 350th time in his 400th Grand Prix, and Fernando is the only other driver who has started more than 350 races.

With three races left, Max, George, Lewis, Lec and Lando are covered by 33 points in the fight for second, and since 2010 that gap was never under 63 at this stage.

Kimi led the first 19 laps at Interlagos and finished fifth, only the second time in 11 front-row starts this year that he missed the podium.

Max and Isack both finished on the podium at Interlagos today, the first time two Red Bulls have done it there since Vettel and Webber in 2013.

Max took his eighth podium at Interlagos today, one more than Lewis and Kimi Räikkönen, and only Michael Schumacher and Fernando have more.

Ollie started sixth at Interlagos, the best grid slot of his career, then had the slowest of the 58 pit stops today and finished 17th.

Gabi and Rafael both made it to the flag at Interlagos today, the first Brazilians to finish their home race since Felipe Massa in 2017.

Lando is only the third driver to win at Interlagos from pole two years in a row, after Mika Hakkinen in 1998 and 1999 and Nico Rosberg in 2014 and 2015.

George has been the quickest driver on track over the last six laps, and he is now 5.2 seconds behind Liam for sixth, down from 12.6 after lap 29.

Oscar has climbed from tenth to fifth after 31 laps at Interlagos, and only Lando has set a quicker lap all race.

After 23 laps at Interlagos, Lando, Isack, Kimi and Max are covered by seven seconds, and Liam in fifth is already 11 seconds behind Max.

Lando cut Kimi's 6.3s lead to under a second by stopping a lap earlier, then took P1 when Kimi ran wide at Turn 1 on lap 20.

On inters over the first 13 laps at Interlagos, both Ferraris lapped more than two seconds slower than Kimi, the same pace as Nico's Audi and Fernando's Aston.

Kimi passes Lando for the lead on lap 1 and Liam gets him too, so Lando drops from pole to third.

Kimi is set to start second at Interlagos, and he has won eight of the ten Grands Prix he started from the front row this year.
