F1 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix weather forecast - latest today from Sao Paulo

The world of Formula 1 heads to Interlagos this weekend for the 2024 Sao Paulo Grand Prix, alongside the fifth sprint weekend of the season as well.

With just four rounds left in the current season, the battle for the championship is even tighter, with Ferrari demoting Red Bull to third in the constructors' standings after Carlos Sainz secured his fourth career victory last time out in Mexico City.

Following a huge double penalty awarded to Max Verstappen, title rival Lando Norris is now just 47 points behind the Dutchman in the drivers' championship and Charles Leclerc following in third place thanks to the significant improvements in pace that the Scuderia appeared to have made in recent weeks.

Verstappen's team-mate, on the other hand, only managed an unsatisfactory P17 finish at his home grand prix last weekend, further prompting discussions about his potentially immediate replacement at Red Bull.

Whilst Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes team-mate George Russell may not be in contention for either championship this year, the pair both have fond memories of racing in Brazil, Hamilton always warmly welcomed to the birthplace of his hero, Ayrton Senna, and Russell reminded of his maiden win in F1, having stormed to victory in Interlagos in 2022.

But how will the weather play out for the race on Sunday?
