Lando Norris has taken his first pole position in the Sprint format at Interlagos.
Lando Norris beat Max Verstappen to pole position for the Sprint at the Brazilian Grand Prix on Saturday, after a fine lap in SQ3.
Medium tyres were mandatory for the first two parts of the Shootout, with the drivers opting for multiple runs in SQ1 as the track had been washed of all rubber following Friday’s late downpour. He was sent spearing towards the barrier and took a couple of minutes to climb out of his car, but he did so after he suffered a touch of oversteer on the exit, but with Fernando Alonso on the outside of the Senna S, the Alpine driver collided with his former team-mate’s front wheel as he went past at full speed, which sent him spinning into the barriers.
A half-hour gap followed as marshals made the necessary repairs to the tyre barriers and cleared debris from the track surface, but the remaining drivers would head back on track for the 10-minute second split of the Sprint Shootout at Interlagos – though it would be without Alonso, as the damage on his car proved too great for him to take a further part in the session.
