Having already trailed by 19 points in the 2021 Formula 1 season, there are 4 races to go for Lewis Hamilton to make a comeback. Ahead of the start of the Brazilian Grand Prix, where Red Bull have been mightily impressive, Hamilton has been made to force a 5-place grid penalty for Brazilian Grand Prix. Knowing that the seven-time world champion could not endure any more slip-ups, this could be huge in deciding the world champion.
According to reports, Mercedes will change the combustion engine on his car in Interlagos, having noticed a drop in water pressure during the race in Mexico last Sunday.
