A torrential downpour has forced the start of the final practice session for the Brazilian Grand Prix to be delayed.

With a tropical storm blowing over the Interlagos track on Saturday morning, making it impossible for the medical helicopter to take off, the FIA has delayed the start of the day's action for an indefinite period.

The FIA's safety car has driven some exploratory laps of the flooded Interlagos track, while teams await news about when the session can start.
