Lando Norris clinched P1 for the Sprint Shootout at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, having put his McLaren 0.061s ahead of Max Verstappen.

The Briton set a time of 1m 10.622s, making up for the disappointment of his lower-than-expected result in Friday’s qualifying. Verstappen’s team mate Sergio Perez managed to take third despite running used tyres.

George Russell and Lewis Hamilton put their Mercedes cars in fourth and fifth respectively, while Yuki Tsunoda was an impressive sixth ahead of Charles Leclerc in seventh.

There was a good showing from Daniel Ricciardo in P8, while Carlos Sainz claimed P9 and Oscar Piastri – racing at Interlagos for the first time in his F1 career – took P10.

The Haas pair of Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg will start the Sprint from P11 and P12 respectively after just missing out on making it into SQ3. Behind them is Pierre Gasly, who exited SQ2 in 13th place.

Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas took P14, while Fernando Alonso also dropped out of SQ2 in P15, with the Aston Martin mechanics unable to repair damage on his car following a collision with Esteban Ocon in SQ1.
