Max Verstappen set the fastest time in the final practice session for the São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos on Saturday, while both Ferrari drivers received grid penalties that will hamper their starting positions for Sunday's race.
Lewis Hamilton, who joined Ferrari for the 2026 season, and his teammate Charles Leclerc were each handed penalties following changes to their power unit components. The sanctions mean the pair will start lower down the grid despite their pace in practice.
Verstappen's Red Bull topped the timesheets ahead of qualifying later on Saturday, giving the Dutch driver an advantage as he seeks to extend his championship lead. The session took place at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo on November 7, 2026.
