Lando Norris dominated qualifying at Interlagos to claim pole position for the 2025 Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix.
Kimi Antonelli found himself alongside Norris on the front row after a stellar session, while Charles Leclerc rounded out the top three, securing a strong starting position for Ferrari.
Norris’s McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri could only manage fourth fastest, followed by Isack Hadjar who delivered an impressive fifth for Racing Bulls, marking himself as a driver to watch.
George Russell, Liam Lawson, Oliver Bearman, Pierre Gasly, and Nico Hulkenberg completed the top ten finishers respectively, rounding out a competitive front pack for the race.
Max Verstappen suffered Q1 elimination after his Red Bull RB21 lacked grip and stability, particularly through the high-speed corners, forcing him to start Sunday’s race from 16th.
