Brazilian GP: Verstappen fastest as Hamilton hits Ferrari engine drama

Max Verstappen set the pace during the final practice session ahead of the 2026 Brazilian Grand Prix.

Knowing he will drop to the back of the grid regardless, that result will nonetheless provide some optimism for the major recovery mission ahead. Lewis Hamilton, also taking an engine penalty in Brazil, encountered apparent power unit issues during the session, costing him the chance to set a lap on soft tyres.
