Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen will both start Sunday's Sao Paulo Grand Prix from the back of the grid, according to reports from Reuters.

The seven-time world champion Hamilton and Red Bull's Verstappen have incurred grid penalties that will relegate them to the last row for the race at Interlagos.

BBC F1 correspondent Andrew Benson reported on Saturday that both drivers will serve their penalties at the Brazilian round of the 2026 Formula 1 season.

Further details regarding the specific reasons for the penalties were not immediately available.
