Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen have expressed concerns about overtaking opportunities at the São Paulo Grand Prix if the drag reduction system (DRS) is not available at Interlagos. Both drivers highlighted the difficulty of passing on the Brazilian circuit without the aid of DRS ahead of the race weekend.
The comments came on November 7, 2026, as Formula 1 prepares for the São Paulo GP at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace. Hamilton and Verstappen noted that the track layout already limits overtaking zones, and the absence of DRS would make it even harder to execute passes during the race.
