D he Formula 1 is looking for in Sao Paulo on Sunday the winner of the 20th race of the season. So far, only Nico Rosberg (9x), Lewis Hamilton (8x) and Daniel Ricciardo as well as Max Verstappen (1x each) have entered the winning lists. Will a new name be added? The probability is rather low. Even in the third year of the hybrid age, Mercedes is too dominant in the premier class.
Technology puzzle in the garages
The cars have been developed for the 2016 season. The teams in the technology offices tackle the mammoth task of 2017 with new cars. Accordingly, there are no more new parts on the racing car. Perhaps that is why the mechanics watch over their sweetheart less meticulously. In any case, on Thursday in Sao Paulo, the teams gave the photographers free rein without standing in front of their lenses.
In the garages, the mechanics puzzled the cars together. The drivers set out to inspect the 4.309-kilometer circuit. Some on foot, others by bike. For example Nico Hülkenberg from Force India.
In our photo show we have put together the impressions from Thursday from Brazil.
