  "account": "Formula One drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will face 10-place grid penalties in Brazil for changing their engines for the first time this season. The penalty was imposed by the FIA following confrontations with Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur. Hamilton expressed frustration over his team-mate's aggressive overtake in Mexico, questioning Leclerc's mentality. However, Vasseur and Leclerc claim the issue is resolved, allowing Verstappen to win the previous race and climb to second in the standings. Verstappen, familiar with starting from the back due to engine changes, won from 17th place in 2024 during heavy rain. Rain is expected to affect both qualifying and the Sunday race in Brazil, where temperatures are forecast to rise. Mercedes' Kimi Antolinu has already clinched the championship, leaving Ferrari in contention for the constructors' title, though they trail the Mercedes. The São Paulo Grand Prix has been secured on the calendar until 2035 after a five-year extension.",
