The potentially title-deciding Brazilian Formula One Grand Prix started behind the safety car after a 10-minute delay due to rain on Sunday.

Rosberg, race winner for the past two seasons in Brazil, can take his first title if he triumphs in the race or scores seven points more than Hamilton.
The drama started early when French driver Romain Grosjean crashed his Haas into the barriers on his way to the starting grid after losing control on standing water.
The safety car dipped into the pits on lap seven with Hamilton taking the lead, followed by Rosberg and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen made a gutsy move into Turn 1 stick to take third place from Kimi Raikkonen in the Ferrari.
