The race at Interlagos is the sixth and final sprint event of the 2023 season. The sprint format caused teams some headaches earlier this year because cars are put under parc ferme conditions after Friday's single free practice session, meaning key items such as ride heights are locked in for the remainder of the weekend.
At the last sprint event in Austin Charles Leclerc's Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes were disqualified for excessive floor plank wear, despite receiving little to no warning after free practice that the plank would become an issue.
