Here are the full results from the Sprint Qualifying
session ahead of Saturday’s action at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
A dramatic Sprint Qualifying session at the Autodromo Carlos
Pace at Interlagos has resulted in a dream result for McLaren as the
Woking-based squad claimed a 1-2 on the grid.
SQ3:
McLaren has locked out the front row for the Sprint race at
Interlagos, ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday.
Lando Norris had commanded the very front throughout SQ1 and
SQ2, and initially set the fastest time in SQ3.
But McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri dug deep on his final run
to just find enough time and jump ahead of Norris by 0.029 seconds to set up a
very interesting first corner in Saturday’s short race.
Behind the McLarens is Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc in third, a
quarter of a second down on the duo ahead, with title championship leader Max
Verstappen fourth for Red Bull and
0.320 down on Piastri.
Fifth went to Mexico City GP winner Carlos Sainz in the
second Ferrari, while George Russell was sixth for Mercedes.
Pierre Gasly popped in an encouraging performance for Alpine
as he claimed seventh, ahead of VCARB’s Liam Lawson in eighth.
Alex Albon was ninth for Williams, while Oliver Bearman was 10th for Haas. The British driver made a mistake on his flying lap near the end of the session, with his time being deleted for exceeding track limits.
