ICYMI: Behind the scenes in Brazil

You can't be watching social media all the time, so let us help you catch up on some moments you may have missed over the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend...

How much is too much?

Forget four candles, four coffees is the way forward for an F1 driver - anyone think Valtteri Bottas might have a caffeine habit?

Showing his colours

It's no secret that Lewis Hamilton holds Ayrton Senna up as a hero, and he once again showed his love for the Brazilian great with a new helmet design for Sao Paulo...

On the ball

McLaren set themselves up for another double points-scoring weekend with a visit from Brazilian footballing legend Dani Alves.

Sempre Senna

Twenty-five years after Brazil lost its favourite racing son, there was an emotional outpouring at Interlagos as Ayrton Senna was remembered, with his nephew Bruno Senna and F1 commentator Martin Brundle both getting behind the wheel of Senna's iconic McLaren MP4/4.

Smooth operator

Carlos Sainz enjoyed a memorable maiden top-three F1 finish at Interlagos – even if he missed out on the official podium ceremony, only inheriting P3 once Lewis Hamilton had been penalised. No matter though – the Spaniard still drew plenty of praise for his performance, not least from former McLaren driver Fernando Alonso, while his team made sure they celebrated their first podium since 2014 in style…
