The iconic Interlagos in Sao Paulo will close out Formula One’s triple header when the battle for drivers’ and constructors’ title heats up.

It’s a Sprint weekend to add to the action, with the past two races in Austin and Mexico City providing plenty of drama.

In MotoGP, Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia go into battle at Sepang in Malaysia with the world championship crown within Martin’s reach.

Three-time world champion Max Verstappen will be a focus of intensified scrutiny this weekend when he seeks to defend his reputation and his lead in the drivers' world championship.

After being penalised twice for his wayward driving, notably forcing nearest title rival Lando Norris of McLaren off the track, in Mexico, Red Bull's series leader arrives at Interlagos with a 47-point lead, but widespread criticism ringing in his ears.

MARTIN LEADS

In MotoGP, Martin holds a 17-point lead heading into the penultimate leg of the season as the Pramac Ducati rider attempts to win the title for the first time.

Two-time defending champion Bagnaia, also on a Ducati, has little room for error and knows that his rival can mathematically seal the crown in Malaysia.
