World champion Lewis Hamilton beat Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel to pole position at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Hamilton was 0.093 seconds clear of his former title rival after a tight, tense battle, with their team-mates Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen next.

Vettel, though, faces an investigation after failing to follow stewards’ instructions at the weighbridge.

Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo’s Red Bulls were fifth and sixth, but the Australian has a five-place penalty .
