The 2017 Brazilian Grand Prix (officially the Formula 1 Grande Prêmio Heineken do Brasil 2017)[1] was the nineteenth race of the 2017 Formula One season, the forty-fifth time the Brazilian Grand Prix was held on the Formula One calendar, and the thirty-fifth time it was held at Autódromo José Carlos Pace. It was held between 10 November and 12 November 2017.
In qualifying, recent four-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton crashed into the tyre barrier on his first flying lap at the start of the first session. His teammate Valtteri Bottas took his third pole position, with Sebastian Vettel joining him on the front row, and Kimi Räikkönen qualifying third on the grid.
In the race, Vettel snatched the lead at the first corner, continued leading ahead of Bottas following an early safety car period, and took his 47th victory, which was also Ferrari's first win at the Brazilian Grand Prix since 2008. Bottas settled for second, whilst Räikkönen finished third after managing to hold off Hamilton, who finished fourth after starting from the pit lane.
