SAO PAULO, Nov 7 (Reuters) – Lando Norris put McLaren on pole position for the third year in a row at the Sao Paulo Formula One Grand Prix on Saturday after a lengthy delay caused by torrential rain at the Interlagos circuit.
George Russell qualified second fastest for Mercedes but will drop down the grid due to a five-place penalty, with newly-crowned champion teammate Kimi Antonelli replacing him on the front row.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was fourth fastest but has a 10-place grid drop, which meant Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson will start third and Audi’s Nico Hulkenberg fourth.
