Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Brazilian Grand Prix. We'll bring you all the action from Interlagos. Verstappen is on pole. Can he convert that into a race victory? Lights out at 17:10 GMT.

Race classification - 1) Verstappen 2) Gasly 3) Hamilton 4) Sainz 5) Raikkonen 6) Giovinazzi 7) Ricciardo 8) Norris 9) Perez 10) Kvyat 11) Magnussen 12) Hulkenberg 13) Russell 14) Grosjean 15) Albon 16) Kubica DNF - Vettel, Stroll, Leclerc, Bottas

That was absolute chaos. One of the most entertaining races of the year, but in the end it was actually a dominant display by Verstappen! He was the main man. It was just behind him that all the chaos unfolded.

VERSTAPPEN WINS THE BRAZILIAN GP! The Red Bull driver crosses the line and claims the race victory! Gasly and Hamilton go to the line, but it's the Toro Rosso who claims second place! Hamilton gets a podium finish, but what will the stewards say about his clash with Albon?

ALBON SPINS! Hamilton dives down the inside of the rookie Red Bull driver, they touch and Albon spins! That's a disaster for Albon! His race has been destroyed! Hamilton is up to P3, but will the stewards look at that?

The safety car is in! We're going to have two laps of chaos! Hamilton is down in P4, but he's on fresh tyres! There's a real chance for Albon to snatch this race victory as well! How will this go?

Hamilton pitted! So in the chaos of the Ferrari clash Hamilton dived into the pits... but why? This race looks likely to end under the safety car and Mercedes might just have pitted Hamilton off the podium!

FERRARI DISASTER! The two Ferraris have collided and both have picked up punctures! Double DNFs! Wow! Who was at fault there? Leclerc was trying to go down the inside, but it all went so wrong!

Verstappen now has a 3.8-second lead on Hamilton and it's starting to feel that the Dutchman has this one wrapped one. The real drama is in the battle for second and third place!

This is really the first time we have seen Albon up with the big boys at the front of the pack and he is making a good impression. However, he still has work to do to secure that podium finish.

Albion is less than a second behind Hamilton and then there's Vettel and Leclerc behind him as well. Vettel attempted to get past Albon, but the rookie gets his elbows out and keeps P3!

Verstappen has now built up an advantage of 2.5 seconds ahead of Hamilton and this is starting to look very good for the Red Bull driver. And it's also looking good for his teammate Albon as well!

Now this is interesting. It was crucial that Hamilton stayed ahead of Verstappen for as long as possible. That didn't happen and now he will be under real pressure from Albon behind him!

VERSTAPPEN IS THROUGH ON THE RESTART! That was magnificent from the Dutchman! He made the move on Hamilton into Turn 1! Albon also got ahead of the two Ferraris and is up into P3! Wow!

THE SAFETY CAR IS IN! We are racing again and we have 10 laps of a finale to end this race! Pretty much everything is up for grabs! Hamilton, Verstappen, Vettel, Albion and Leclerc will all want a big finish!

Because it's such a short lap they don't want the pack all closing up and then interfering with the leaders in a few laps time. They are allowing the bottom feeders to overtake the safety car.

"The safety car needs to speed up, man. Jeez!" Safe to say that Hamilton is itching to get racing again here. He has Verstappen in his sights, although Vettel, Albon and Leclerc are all in play too!

We're still behind the safety car for the time being while they deal with Bottas' car. This could be what Leclerc in particular needed in his duel with Vettel for a podium place.
