Good news for fans of dramatic finales and weather-induced chaos: the São Paulo Grand Prix will stick around at Interlagos until at least 2035, courtesy of a freshly inked five-year extension. The race, which has given us such memorable moments as Kimi Räikkönen's 2007 title win and Lewis Hamilton's 2008 triumph - where a late rain shower nearly derailed the Briton's first championship before conveniently turning in his favor - will continue to be a fixture on the calendar, come rain or shine. And in Brazil, it's usually rain.

Speaking of Hamilton, the seven-time champion will participate in qualifying despite being relegated to the back of the grid. Last week's winner apparently topped the times in FP3, because why not remind everyone of his pace before starting from the rear? Meanwhile, Red Bull's Max Verstappen set the fastest time in final practice on Saturday, clocking 1min 11.622sec - a mere 0.025 seconds ahead of 20-year-old Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli, who had topped Friday's second practice. Verstappen, the four-time champion, will also start Sunday's race from the back after collecting a penalty for an engine change. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc joins the back-of-the-grid party with his own engine-related drop. So, to recap: several of the sport's biggest names will be charging through the field, which should be entertaining, assuming the weather cooperates. It won't.
