Mercedes heads into the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos with a 126-point lead over Ferrari in the constructors’ championship.
Ferrari is the only team that can still catch Mercedes, and Mercedes will secure the title if its lead reaches at least 129 points after Sunday’s race.

Camara takes the seat previously held by Esteban Ocon, who will not return to drive for Haas.
