Lando Norris claims F1 São Paulo GP pole as heavy rain disrupts qualifying

Lando Norris claimed pole position for McLaren at the São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos, with qualifying taking two and a half hours to complete due to heavy rain. George Russell set the second fastest time but received a grid penalty, promoting Kimi Antonelli to second and Liam Lawson to third on the starting grid. Max Verstappen, who also received a grid penalty for taking a new engine, chose not to set a time after Q1 to conserve tyres and will start from 21st.
