The 7-times world champion had to overcome severe obstacles to claim fifth in the spirit race. When Hamilton was in parc ferme, his engineer gave him a stern warning not to do what his arch-rival did after Saturday’s qualifying session.

Bono said, “Lewis just make sure you don’t touch any other cars or check them out in any way.”

Hamilton still faces major obstacles for the Brazilian Grand Prix

The Knight drove extremely well from being last on the grid to taking the chequered flag in fifth place. However, Hamilton is yet to overcome the problems that await him for Sunday’s race.

The Mercedes driver will have to face a five-place grid penalty for changing a component in his engine. This means the Mercedes driver will see the five-red lights from tenth on the grid.

Nevertheless, Hamilton is optimistic for Sunday’s race, after showing impressive skills in the sprint race, he has faith that he can do it once again once the lights go out on Sunday.

Now Verstappen has a 21-point lead over the British driver and aims to extend it in tomorrow’s race. While Hamilton is hoping to bring his A-game to Interlagos and prevent the Dutch driver from doing so.
