Red Bull’s Max Verstappen will start Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix from the 17th position as he fights McLaren’s Lando Norris for the Formula One drivers’ championship.

The 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix and qualifying takes place today (Sunday, November 3, 2024) at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace with Sao Paulo set to see the fierce battles in both Formula 1 world championships continue. However, ahead of the main event, there is still qualifying to complete, with the order for Sunday's grid yet to be determined.

After five red flags created a chaotic qualifying session, there have been many changes made to cars before the Brazilian Grand Prix. Torrential rain in Sao Paulo meant that the qualifying session that was abandoned yesterday took place today and saw many drivers crash into the barriers as they struggled to keep their car on the tarmac.

Lando Norris’ bid to win his maiden world championship was dealt a seismic boost in Interlagos after he took a brilliant pole position for the Brazilian Grand Prix, with rival Max Verstappen a shock 17th.

McLaren’s Lando Norris topped qualifying at Formula 1’s Brazilian Grand Prix while Red Bull driver Max Verstappen was eliminated in controversial timing circumstances on one of the wet session’s many red flags.
