Lando Norris secured pole position for the São Paulo Grand Prix, gaining a crucial advantage as the championship battle intensifies. In contrast, two title‑contenders, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, are relegated to the back of the pack, a start that threatens their ability to score heavily in Brazil.

Heavy rain forced a postponement of the qualifying session, and when the track finally dried it remained slick, turning the bout into a chaotic battle for laps. The rain‑laden qualifying injects uncertainty into race strategy, as tyre selections and track evolution may reshuffle the expected order.

Norris’s pole sharpens his championship stance, but the delayed session leaves teams with limited data for set‑up tweaks, keeping the outcome of the Brazilian Grand Prix open.
