It may be one of the shortest tracks on the Formula One calendar, but the 4.3km José Carlos Pace Circuit presents a number of challenges to teams.

It combines a long sweeping start/finish straight with a tricky infield section so choosing the right set-up compromise is paramount. The high altitude (800m) leaves the power units feeling breathless, and the bumps and undulations keep the drivers on their toes. The Brazilian crowd always give their countrymen a raucous reception.

I thang yaw.
