F1 Brazil Grand Prix LIVE: UK start time, results and how to follow as Hamilton seeks first win in n

Lewis Hamilton will aim to win his first Formula 1 race for almost two years when the grid returns to Brazil this weekend.

The seven-time world champion, who hasn't won a grand prix since Saudi Arabia in 2021, is a three-time winner in Sao Paulo.

Mercedes' only race triumph over the past two seasons came in Brazil last year, with George Russell securing his first-ever F1 win after fending off team-mate Hamilton in a Silver Arrows one-two.

Hamilton, who has been awarded Brazilian citizenship, looks primed to end his drought in Interlagos after successive runners-up finishes (albeit one of which was later disqualified post-race).

The 38-year-old's performance in Mexico last time out closed the gap on Sergio Perez in second spot to 20 points.

But if he is to win, he's going to have to do it from fifth as Max Verstappen claimed pole.

Brazil Grand Prix: What has been said?

On closing the gap to Perez in second, Hamilton said: "It's mostly dependent on Checo's [Perez] weekends.

"They have the championship-winning car. He has just been unfortunate in some scenarios. I have lost quite a lot of points in the last two races but he lost points here.

"Having lost the points last week, I didn't think I would be in shooting range but, after today, we will give it the best shot. It's a bonus if we get second in the drivers'."
