Lando Norris secures pole position for the São Paulo (Brazil) Grand Prix at Interlagos after a rain-soaked and heavily disrupted qualifying session. Several outlets describe the conditions as treacherous, with qualifying delayed by heavy rain and thunderstorms, leading to a reshuffled grid.

All the reports agree Norris goes fastest in the wet, handing McLaren a third consecutive pole in Brazil. Multiple sources add that the session’s chaos and subsequent penalties affect the front places: George Russell finishes just behind Norris on track, but a five-place engine penalty changes the race starting order. Several outlets also note Kimi Antonelli, newly crowned champion in one report, is promoted to the front row, with Liam Lawson starting third for Racing Bulls.

Coverage generally focuses on how unpredictable the wet qualifying was and how delays and penalties set up a potentially open race. Differences are mainly in emphasis—some lead with the “crazy” rain and delays, while others stress driver mistakes, or highlight Mercedes’ complaint about an aborted lap.
