The Brazilian Grand Prix has always delivered when it comes to exciting racing, and the 2024 version is set to be no different! We kicked this Grand Prix weekend off with Free Practice 1, and it was nothing short of a whirlwind! McLaren’s Lando Norris rocketed to the top with a soft-shot run, with George Russell of the Silver Arrows and surprise star Ollie Bearman – who is subbing in for an unwell Kevin Magnussen at P2 and P3. With this being a Spring weekend, this was the only practice session for the drivers, and they had to make every second count. Even with a grid Max Verstappen also showed his speed even with a powertrain-related grid penalty heading his way, but Lando Norris ultimately stole the show with a stunning lap on softs, edging out the rest of the boys hot on his heels. Oh, and McLaren’s dominance continued with Oscar Piastri in fourth!
Trust us when we say that Sprint Qualifying was even more EPIC, as the young Aussie clad in McLaren’s Papaya orange shocked everyone by topping the timesheet in SQ1, even with the darkness of rain looming above. Championship leader Verstappen was looking sharp as well, but a looming penalty cast a shadow on his Sunday chances. Meanwhile, veterans like Alonso and Hamilton got knocked out early, failing to make the cut for the intense Q3.
The final showdown was a nail-biter! Piastri and Norris led the charge for McLaren, but Ferrari’s Leclerc – winner in the USA – wasn’t giving up anytime soon. In an unbelievable finish, Piastri pulled off a miracle, edging out his teammate by a hair’s width to claim a sensational Sprint Qualifying pole for the second time in his career! The McLaren duo locked out the front row, leaving Verstappen and Leclerc scrambling from behind at P3 and 4 respectively. Excited?
