Lando Norris took pole in Sprint qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
At Interlagos, the McLaren driver, the World Championship leader, set a time of 1’9″243, beating Mercedes driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli by one tenth.
Behind the Englishman and the Italian were Oscar Piastri (McLaren) and George Russell (Mercedes). Wonderful third row of Fernando Alonso with the Aston Martin, while only sixth is Max Verstappen (Red Bull). Disappointing are the Ferraris: Charles Leclerc is just eighth at almost half a second from the first time, for him also a spin. Mere 11th place for Lewis Hamilton, eliminated in Q2.
GP Brazil, Sprint race starting order:
Norris
Antonelli
Piastri
Russell
Alonso
Verstappen
Stroll
Leclerc

Hulkenberg
