After taking a narrow lead in the World Drivers’ Championship following the Mexico City Grand Prix, McLaren’s Lando Norris has been dominant throughout the weekend so far at Interlagos.
Over the past two days, Norris captured P1 in the sprint qualifying shootout, then finished the sprint race itself in P1, and just hours later, secured P1 again in race qualifying. Because of his sprint race win, Norris ow holds a nine-point lead over his teammate Oscar Piastri, who currently sits in second place. Piastri crashed out of Saturday’s sprint before qualifying P4 for today’s race.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who is currently third overall, struggled in qualifying and did not advance out of Q1 for the first time since the 2021 Russian Grand Prix. He’ll start 16th today.
