Sao Paulo Grand Prix Qualifying was postponed until Sunday after heavy rain and thunderstorms prevented the session from taking place as scheduled on Saturday.
Lando Norris completed a Sprint victory earlier on Saturday to reduce Max Verstappen's world championship lead to 44 points, but a downpour - along with thunder and lightning - prevented any further track action from taking place at Interlagos. The session was pushed back several times from its originally scheduled start of 6pm, but almost two hours after it was meant to begin, race director Niels Wittich officially called it off.
' There is the potential for further delays on Sunday with more rain forecast at the famous circuit, which has seen its unpredictable local weather system contribute to some of the most memorable moments in Formula 1 history. There is no provision in the sport's current regulations that dictate how the grid would be set in the event further rain prevented qualifying from taking place on Sunday, but the race was able to go ahead.
