TAKING TIME

A large crowd gathered around the Alpine garage, cheering for Franco Colapinto - who’s been a real hit with the fans this weekend. Much to their delight, Franco climbed the fence to greet them.

AWAY THEY GO

The lights have gone out here in São Paulo - but will the rain hold off? Time will tell. Lando Norris made a strong start, while local hero Gabriel Bortoleto found himself in the barriers and out of the race on lap one.

BACK OF THE PACK

Last year, this man finished seventh here in Brazil. Today, he starts 19th on the grid. It was a tough qualifying day for Red Bull Racing, with both cars failing to make it out of Q1.

GREEN’S THE COLOUR

Nico Hulkenberg, fresh from his first Q3 appearance of the season, arrived in his team gear this morning. His wife, Egle, also opted for green - and I must say, she looked resplendent.

PENNY FOR THEM?

Oscar Piastri was one of the first drivers to arrive in the paddock this morning and looked deep in thought as he made his way from the swipe gates to the hospitality suite.

HOME HERO

After crashing out in the sprint, the Sauber crew faced a monumental task to get Gabriel’s car ready in time. Despite their best efforts, it wasn’t possible, meaning he’ll start from the back of the grid tomorrow.

Another fine performance from Ollie Bearman, who’ll start tomorrow’s race from P8. He’ll no doubt be eyeing a points finish.

INTO THE TOP 10

MAX-TERCLASS

Max Verstappen will start tomorrow’s race from P16. Last year, he began from P12 and still went on to win with a masterful drive. You can never count him out.

DOUBLE DELIGHT

We’ve had two qualifying sessions this weekend, and Lando Norris has taken pole in both. He converted sprint pole into a victory - can he do the same tomorrow? Time will tell.

POST RACE CHATS

Yuki Tsunoda and Carlos Sainz shared a chat as they left pit lane, with the pair finishing P14 and P15 respectively. They both had poor results in Sprint Qualifying and will no doubt be looking to improve their results in Qualifying at 3 pm.

DAMAGED GOODS

Oscar Piastri's car made its way back to pit lane on the back of a truck after the Sprint ended. His side of the garage will be hard at work to make sure his car is ready for qualifying at 3 pm.
