LEWIS HAMILTON has just THREE races left to leapfrog Red Bull racer Sergio Perez on the F1 leaderboards – and the Brazil GP is up next.
Perez, 33, has occupied second spot behind his championship-winning teammate Max Verstappen for most of the campaign.
But Hamilton closed the gap to just 20 points after his P2 finish in Mexico.
Furthermore, the British mogul is no stranger to winning in Brazil having done so in 2016 and 2018.
However, Hamilton’s last first place finish came way back in December 2021.
