‘I’ll try to win, somehow’ – Can Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen fight back for F1 Brazilian GP victory?

Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen will start the Brazilian Grand Prix from 20th and 21st on the grid, casting doubt over their chances of fighting for victory. Despite both drivers having produced memorable recovery drives at Interlagos in previous years, they expressed skepticism about their ability to repeat those feats under the current technical regulations.

Hamilton and Verstappen pointed out that the absence of standard DRS and the limitations of the overtake mode will make passing significantly harder along the straights. Both drivers noted that wet weather conditions or safety car interruptions could be their only realistic route back to contention.
