At the start of the second lap Hamilton gets another move done overtaking Vettel at the first turn. The Mercedes driver is now sixth hunting down the two Ferraris.
Bottas goes off into Turn 4 on lap 1 too, and that gives us a Red Bull 1-2! Bottas is third, with Leclerc and Sainz behind him.
Hamilton keeps clear of the first corner danger and then goes around the outside of Gasly at Turn 7 to move up to seventh place.
Verstappen clears Bottas into the first corner, as Norris finds himself off the road with a puncture at Turn 1!
Lights out
The 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix is go!
The field circulates and pulls into their grid slots...it's almost time.
Green flag
The formation lap now begins.
With the warm conditions and middle trio of tyres, hopefully we'll get a bit of strategic variation today. That'd be just lovely.
Breaking news
Tyre news: we've got the full field starting on mediums today, apart from Tsunoda on softs.
Risk of rain, like yesterday, is zero percent. Shame, a bit of rain usually goes nicely here...
Positioning into Turn 1 is going to be crucial - do you want the inside or the outside?
Just about 10 minutes until we get going here - the excitement is bubbling away quite nicely.
Yesterday's sprint race was made rather exciting by Hamilton's charge through the order. With hotter temperatures and high fuel, it might be a bit harder to pull off.

Sun
It's very warm in Brazil, 23 degrees C air temperature, but a big ol' 55 degrees C on-track. Degradation will be rather high.
