Lando Norris claimed pole position for the São Paulo Grand Prix on Saturday, in a qualifying session at the Autódromo de Interlagos disrupted by heavy rain, according to ge.
The session was stopped at one stage as the weather worsened, and R7 Esportes reported that cars returned to the track after the interruption. UOL reported that Rafael Câmara crashed in Q2, bringing out a red flag.
ge also reported that Bortoleto was among those who crashed during the session. The Brazilian driver's incident added to a difficult afternoon for the home contingent, with Câmara's Q2 accident already having halted running.
The session determined the starting order for Sunday's race at Interlagos, with VEJA publishing the full grid. The rain-affected conditions meant the order was settled across a stop-start hour rather than a single clean run.
Norris's pole comes at a circuit where wet weather has often reshuffled the order, and the interruption gave teams limited dry running to work with. The full grid, as published by VEJA, sets the field for the race.
What to watch next: whether the wet conditions carry into Sunday's race, and how the drivers who crashed in qualifying fare from their starting positions.
