Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have both been handed grid penalties for the São Paulo Grand Prix, adding to Ferrari's difficulties at the Brazilian round of the Formula 1 World Championship.
The penalties were confirmed on November 7, 2026, ahead of the race weekend at Interlagos. Hamilton, driving for Mercedes, and Leclerc, representing Ferrari, will start lower on the grid as a result of separate infractions.
The development compounds a challenging period for Ferrari, which has struggled to match the pace of its rivals in recent events.
