Formula 1 2016 live stream: Start time, TV schedule, and starting grid for Brazilian Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton will start ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg in the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday. The Drivers’ Championship is on the line.


In the United States, the race will be broadcast on NBCSN, beginning at a perfectly manageable 11 a.m. ET. A live stream will also be available right here via NBC Sports.
Rosberg leads Hamilton by 19 points heading into the penultimate race of the season. Victory by Rosberg will give him the title, and he’ll have confidence, given he’s won the last two Brazilian Grands Prix. Hamilton, on the other hand, needs to win both races and he needs Rosberg to finish worse than second place in both race.
It’s been a hard-fought rivalry this season, marred with crashes into one another, car troubles and other issues. That rivalry has also been good for Mercedes as a constructor, as they set the record for pole positions earned in a season when Hamilton took the top spot on Saturday.
The scrap between the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo and the Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen will be just as interesting, even if none of them can catch Hamilton or Rosberg.
Ferrari was expected to be the only team to “push” Mercedes this season, potentially along with Williams, and now Red Bull is up there with them while Williams duels with Force India, a team considered an afterthought.
Both Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull and Force India cars are in the top 10 of the grid for Sunday. The other two spots will be rounded out by Romain Grosjean of Haas starting from seventh and Fernando Alonso starting from 10th for McLaren.
Esteban Ocon of Manor was given a three-place grid penalty for impeding Jolyon Palmer of Renault, which put him at the back of the grid, as he was originally supposed to start third from the back. Jenson Button, racing in his final Formula 1 season, didn’t make it out of the first qualifying session and was very upset with his team following the session. Felipe Massa is also retiring at the end of the season and just missed the cut for the third qualifying session.
Button will start 17th, while Massa comes in at No. 13. For Massa, it’s his home Grand Prix, and there were plenty cheering from him, even when he missed out on the third qualifying session.
Below is the information for how to watch the race as well as the full lineup and starting grid for the race from Interlagos.
