Officials have opted to reschedule qualifying to Sunday after torrential rain hit Interlagos
Qualifying for the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix has been postponed to Sunday due to a deluge of rain that hit the Interlagos circuit. Rain began to fall half an hour before the qualifying session for Sunday's grand prix was due to begin at 1500 local time. The sprint race had run on Saturday morning in dry conditions, with McLaren’s Lando Norris winning ahead of team-mate Oscar Piastri.
At 16:15 local time the rain began to intensify again, with the provisional start time of qualifying continuously assessed and pushed back with 15 minute intervals. The latest update from the FIA pushed the start of qualifying at 17:00 local time if conditions were suitable, but Sao Paulo's sunset time of 18:21 worked against the organisers' efforts to get a qualifying session in the books, as it was the latest time the FIA was comfortable having cars running on-track.
