McLaren's Lando Norris and Mercedes' George Russell set the fastest times in qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos on Saturday, but Russell will start the race from seventh place after incurring a five-place grid penalty.
The session took place in borderline weather conditions, with both drivers hoping for more rain to potentially shake up the order. Norris secured provisional pole position, while Russell's penalty drops him down the grid despite his strong performance.
The qualifying session was held on November 7, 2026, at the Sao Paulo circuit.
