Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Hamilton is the 2017 World Drivers’ Champion. Mercedes is the 2017 Constructors’ Champion.
Previous race
At Mexico City, Verstappen won. Hamilton clinched his fourth World Championship by finishing ninth after being collected in a first-lap collision with Vettel. Vettel fought back from last to finish fourth, but it was not enough to extend the fight.
Milestones
George Russell makes his Formula One début appearance in the first free practice session. Antonio Giovinazzi also appears in FP2 — an unusual slot for a test driver, as such appearances typically take place in FP1.
Practice
The three practice sessions showed tight competition between Ferrari and Mercedes throughout. Hamilton was quickest in FP1 and FP2, with both Ferraris and both Red Bulls within one second. Massa and Alonso were notably strong. In FP3, Bottas pipped Hamilton’s best time by three thousandths of a second; less than a tenth of a second separated the two Mercedes and two Ferraris.
