The day after his victory in the sprint race on the Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo, Lando Norris (McLaren), author of pole position at the end of a qualifying session with twists and turns, has a great opportunity to fill a part of his delay in the championship to Max Verstappen (Red Bull), Sunday November 3 during the Brazilian Grand Prix. 44 points separate the two drivers before this race, while there will then remain three weekends of competition to conclude the season.
The three-time world champion, who has not won a Grand Prix since the stage in Spain in June, will only start from 17th place on the grid, penalized five places for having changed his engine. A huge handicap in these conditions for the Dutchman against his British rival. The qualifying session on Sunday morning was a long series of accidents and red flags (five times): the two Williams, the two Aston Martins and the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz were notably badly damaged with little time to repair them before the race.
