Formula 1 arrives at Interlagos for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, with Friday practice sessions opening on track at 15:30 GMT for FP1 and 19:00 GMT for FP2. The weekend marks the first event since Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli secured the drivers' world championship in Mexico.

Mercedes heads into the weekend with an opportunity to clinch the constructors' championship. The Silver Arrows hold a 126-point lead over Ferrari and need to outscore their rivals by at least three points to secure their ninth constructors' title.

The opening practice session features seven rookie drivers stepping into cars to fulfill team regulatory requirements. Among them, 21-year-old Formula 2 championship leader Rafael Camara makes his Formula 1 debut with Haas for his home race in Brazil, replacing Esteban Ocon for the remainder of the season.

BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra provides live commentary of the practice sessions from Interlagos, with updates and coverage also available via the BBC Sounds app.
