Engine
Mercedes confirmed shortly after opening practice for the Brazilian Grand Prix that Hamilton would serve a five-place grid penalty after taking his fifth engine of the season.
It comes as a blow to Hamilton, who last Sunday slipped 19 points behind F1 title rival Max Verstappen at the top of the championship in Mexico, with just four races left this season.
Mercedes has been struggling with engine reliability in recent months, forcing Hamilton’s teammate Valtteri Bottas and Mercedes’ customer teams to take penalties in recent races.
Speaking on Sky Sports F1 after Friday’s opening practice session at Interlagos, Mercedes F1 chief Wolff explained that the engine drop had prompted the change.
“We have a drop on the engine, which, until the end of the season, is just going to continue to decrease in power,” Wolff said. “We don’t yet realize why that is, but we’re only seeing it creep in.”
After a dominating qualifying session at Brazilian Grand Prix qualifying on Friday, Lewis Hamilton secured pole position for Saturday’s sprint qualifying. This means Hamilton will start from the front with second-placed Max Verstappen in sprint qualifying to determine the order of the grid for Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix.
As in the previous qualifying at the Mexican GP, Mercedes were all guns blazing in this qualifying with both Hamilton and Bottas putting up great gaps to secure P1 and P3 respectively. While Lewis Hamilton has opted to go for a new ICE, which will net him a five-grid penalty on Sunday, it could be a blessing in disguise for Mercedes and Hamilton as they certainly have more than last weekend. There will be speed.
Height
F1 is all about margin, squeezing every last ounce of car and driver performance to add speed and cut lap times, and so driver size itself is a relevant concern.
While modern Formula 1 cars have historically been more suited to larger drivers, there is still room for the little guy and a full range of driver sizes currently compete in the sport.
Who is the shortest F1 driver in 2021?
Japanese rookie Yuki Tsunoda is now officially the smallest driver on the grid, weighing 1.59m (5′ 2″), weighing 54kg (8st 7lbs). He is followed by McLaren’s Lando Norris, previously the smallest in F1 There was the driver, who was standing at about 1.70 metres.
Below is a breakdown of the height of Formula 1 drivers competing in the 2021 season.
Grid penalty
Lewis Hamilton is up for a five-place grid penalty for the So Paulo Grand Prix in Brazil, having picked up a new Mercedes internal combustion engine for this weekend’s race.
Hamilton took a 10-place grid penalty for a new ICE in Turkey, but after teammate Valtteri Bottas received his third engine penalty in four GPs in the United States, questions were raised about the reliability of Mercedes’ power unit and by Hamilton. There was a lot of discussion about taking it. Another power unit at some point.

Here at Interlagos, it has been confirmed that the defending champions will indeed take their fifth ICE of the season, a decision by the Silver Arrows that will leave them five grid places for Sunday’s race – after the F1 sprint on Saturday evening.
It leaves Hamilton with an uphill battle as he is 19 points behind title rival Max Verstappen in Brazil.
