Qualifying for the São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos is delayed after heavy rain triggers a red flag almost immediately. Multiple outlets report that the session is stopped within minutes of beginning, with the wet conditions preventing racing from continuing.

As a result, the starting grid for Sunday is not yet set. While outlets agree on the core disruption—rain, a rapid red flag, and the knock-on effect for the grid—some differ in how quickly they say the stoppage occurred, using slightly different timelines for when qualifying is halted.

Coverage focuses on the immediate impact of the weather on the session. With the reports provided, there are no additional details about repairs, rescheduling, or whether the delay changes race-day plans beyond the grid uncertainty.
