At the Brazilian Grand Prix, Pirelli provided the drivers with the tire compounds P Zero Medium (white), P Zero Soft (yellow), P Zero Supersoft (red), as well as Cinturato Intermediates (green) and Cinturato Full Wets (blue) for wet conditions .
Compared to the previous year, several changes were made to the route. In Senna-S , Ferradura , turn eight and Bico do Pato , additional tire stacks were built due to the higher speeds of the vehicles. In Senna-S , in Descida do Lago , in turn eight and in Bico do Pato , additional, higher curbs were installed to prevent drivers from leaving the track. In addition, grooves were cut in the asphalt in several places so that rainwater could drain away better.
The two DRS zones remained unchanged compared to the previous year. The first zone began 20 meters after the Senna-S , the measuring point was at the apex of curve two , the right -hand bend of the Senna-S . The measuring point for the second DRS zone, which was on the start-finish straight , was 30 meters after the Junção , and the DRS could then be activated 60 meters after turn 15 , the last bend before the start-finish line.
Kevin Magnussen (six), Stoffel Vandoorne (five), Romain Grosjean , Nico Hülkenberg (four each), Kimi Räikkönen , Max Verstappen , Vettel (three each), Marcus Ericsson , Hamilton, Felipe Massa , Carlos Sainz jr. , Pascal Wehrlein (two each) and Lance Stroll (one) went into the race weekend with penalty points.

The qualifying consisted of three parts with a net running time of 45 minutes. In the first qualifying segment (Q1), the drivers had 18 minutes to qualify for the race. All drivers who achieved a time in the first section that was a maximum of 107 percent of the fastest lap time qualified for the Grand Prix. The best 15 drivers reached the next part. The segment was interrupted after about two minutes due to an accident by Hamilton. Raikkonen was fastest. Räikkönen and Vettel used the soft mix, all other drivers drove super soft . Hamilton could no longer participate in qualifying after his accident and therefore did not qualify for the Grand Prix. Next to him, the Sauber drivers, Stroll and Gasly were eliminated.
The second section (Q2) lasted 15 minutes. The ten fastest pilots qualified for the third part of qualifying. Vettel was fastest. Hartley did not drive a timed lap because of the penalty issued against him and thus had no time. Beside him both Haas drivers, Vandoorne and Ocon retired.

Gasly, Hartley and Ricciardo were moved back ten starting positions this season due to the use of the eighth MGU-H . After the first free practice session, Gasly changed other drive unit components. Due to the use of the ninth MGU-H and the seventh turbocharger , he was moved 15 places back this season, the penalty increased to 25 starting places.
