16:45 GMT: Two Stop Strategy
With just 15 minutes to the race getting underway, strategy is still hot on the lips of most in the paddock as two stops are expected for the majority of the field. Much hotter track temperatures mean a one-stop is far more unlikely but don't rule out someone trying it, but who will be the gambler? Not long to wait to find out.
16:20 GMT: Hamilton in the Danger Zone
The pit lane has opened and the drivers are making their way to the grid for today's Grand Prix. Right in the middle of that grid will be Lewis Hamilton after his storming drive in yesterday's sprint race, but if an incident happens on the opening lap, chances are it won't be too far from the sevem-time champion so he will be content if he can make it round the first tour with his car still in tact and he can move forward from there, but can he go all the way?
16:00 GMT: One Hour To Go
Lights out is nearing in Sao Paulo and the festival atmosphere that Brazil always brings is ramping up the volume. The packed out grandstands can forget about their umbrellas and get their tan on with mid 20s in temperature and no rain on the horizon. Ideal conditions for a 71-Lap thriller.
14:30 BST: Hamilton's message of hope
"STILL. WE. RISE." was simply the caption for Lewis Hamilton's Instagram post late on Saturday night. Will he be able to rise up from 10th on the grid today?
