Brazil Grand Prix 2016: Where to watch qualifying live and practice review
Lewis Hamilton was fastest in both FP1 and FP2 on Friday.
Lewis Hamilton put the right foot forward in his quest to win the Brazil Grand Prix for the first time in nine attempts after he went fastest in both Friday's practice sessions at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace. Nico Rosberg was the second fastest in FP2, while the Red Bull of Max Verstappen split the two Mercedes' in FP1.
It was a hot day at Interlagos and all the teams struggled to find the optimal grip with the tyres. Mercedes and Red Bull failed to improve their times from FP1 in the afternoon owing to the high temperatures, but Ferrari did improve but are still behind the Siler Arrows team, Red Bull and Williams in the pecking order.
Rosberg can wrap up the title with a win at the penultimate race of the season, but Hamilton seems determined to take it to the final race of the season. Rain was forecast for the weekend and could still arrive and shake up the order. Red Bull have been strong in wet conditions this season, and could spoil the party for the Mercedes duo.
Williams will be keen to continue their dominance over Force India from Friday, as they continue their battle in the Constructors' Championship. However, all the eyes will be on the Mercedes duos championship battle and their form going to the race on Sunday.
