Lando Norris secured pole position after a qualifying session disrupted by rain, adding to a strong season that has already yielded two race victories for the McLaren driver. Norris won the Hungarian Grand Prix and the Dutch Grand Prix earlier this year, according to Reuters.

The rain-delayed qualifying session took place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, with Norris emerging fastest when track conditions allowed competitive running. The British driver's performance continues McLaren's competitive form in the 2026 Formula 1 championship.
