The drivers' championship has been sealed, but there is still plenty to race for in the final four rounds of this year's Formula 1 world championship.

Some drivers need good results to convince their teams of keeping them next season; all teams are desperately trying to score points to finish as high as they can in the constructors' standings — and earn more prize money.

Oscar Piastri starts this morning's grand prix from 10th, while Lando Norris is on pole position alongside world champion Kimi Antonelli.

World champion Kimi Antonelli has just gone off the track, 40 minutes before the start of the race.

The pit lane is open, and the drivers need to get their cars to the grid.

But the slippery conditions have caught out the new champion, with Antonelli going off the track and nearly getting stuck in the grass.

He was able to find an escape road and eventually get back to the pits, but it took a while.

There could be carnage this morning.

The rain from qualifying yesterday continued, and there has been plenty of rain on Sunday (local time).

1: 380 — Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes CHAMPION

9: 83 — Liam Lawson, Racing Bulls/Red Bull

11: 38 — Arvid Lindblad, Racing Bulls

17: 7 — Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin
