It’s wet and wild at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, and we have an appropriately scrambled grid for what’s likely to be a complicated afternoon. Lando Norris starts from pole position for the seventh time this year, with George Russell alongside.
Behind them, it’s chaos: Lewis Hamilton qualified P16, Max Verstappen P12 (though a grid penalty will drop him to P17). Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri both made it through to Q3 but start at the wrong end of the top 10, while crews are frantically working to repair damage to the cars of Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso, Alex Albon, Lance Stroll and Franco Colapinto.
