HIGHLIGHTS: Watch the action from a chaotic qualifying at Interlagos as Norris leads Russell and Tsunoda after multiple red flags
Share
Lando Norris claimed pole position ahead of George Russell and Yuki Tsunoda during a heavily disrupted qualifying session for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix in challenging conditions.
There were five red flags that interrupted Sunday morning’s qualifying – delayed after heavy rain on Saturday – as the two Williams cars, Carlos Sainz and both Aston Martins all found the barriers, contributing to a remarkably mixed up starting grid ahead of the race.
With the threat of raining looming intermittently, Norris clocked a time of 1m 23.405s on intermediate tyres, as the session also saw Tsunoda, Esteban Ocon and Liam Lawson make it into the top five.
Lewis Hamilton and the Red Bull duo of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez were among the shocks of the morning as none of them made it through to Q3, with a hard-to-handle Mercedes in Q1 and a poorly timed red flag in Q2 preventing their fast laps.
