Brazilian Grand Prix What to Watch
Some of the most remarkable championship-deciding races in previous seasons have taken place at Interlagos.
Lewis Hamilton can't win this year because he already won the 2017 championship. However, this is the one location that can deliver a surprise.
The boisterous energy is provided by the local fans who sit across from the pits, close to the action. From scorching heat to pouring rain, the weather can vary greatly.
Additionally, the track, which is a scaled-down version of the full 7.96-kilometer course, may provide thrilling racing.
Prior to Mexico City's comeback, this was the location where Formula One teams experienced the highest altitude of the season.
Though not quite as severe as in Mexico, where the air density reduction is about 25%, the air density is 10% lower than usual, which does lessen the efficacy of the wings and power unit cooling.
The MGU-H has plenty of time to charge thanks to the lengthy, fast runs down the Reta Oposta and towards the first curve. The only actual opportunity to recover energy from the MGU-K, however, is during the few, brief braking zones in the middle of the lap.
The track's troublesome bumps were lessened when it was rebuilt three years ago. Lap timings decreased as a result of the kerbs being changed.
The drivers reach the "Senna S," named for Brazil's most well-known racing driver, after a lengthy, curved, flat-out blast. In a challenging, curved approach, the drivers brake hard and lose nearly 200 kph, inviting them to lock a wheel.
The Reta Oposta has a lengthy acceleration zone after they had threaded their cars around turn two. The best chances to pass are during these two lengthy straightaways at the start of the lap.
According to Renault, the approach to turning four will be a "dab on the brakes" due to the cars' enhanced cornering capabilities this year. The cars will be flat-out nearly constantly for about 17 seconds from turn two to turn six.
Turns six and seven of the double-right Ferradura will therefore be approached very quickly, and the new vehicles' cornering skills should show impressive here as well.
The slower middle portion of the circuit more closely resembles the layout of the former course. At the end of the lengthy turn nine, drivers must be patient with the throttle after turning eight, which necessitates hard braking (Pinheirinho). The track's slowest turn is ten (Bico de Pato).
Turn 11, Mergulho, which plunges downwards but should now be an easy flat-out corner, is where the cars accelerate from there.
A few years ago, the pit lane entry was rearranged for safety reasons because it is approached at extremely high speeds. Nevertheless, the driver is brought near to the barrier where the pit lane starts by the racing line. Last year, in streaming wet conditions, Nico Hulkenberg made a daring approach on Kevin Magnussen at this point on the track, and this did not deter him.
