2025 Brazil GP Sprint race: starting grid at Interlagos. The 2025 Brazilian GP Sprint Qualifying at Interlagos saw Lando Norris take pole,.

The 2025 Interlagos Sprint Qualifying, although slightly less spectacular than previous editions, delivered an important result in the context of the drivers’ championship. McLaren emerged as the team to beat, with Mercedes close behind and Ferrari and Red Bull facing difficulties. Lando Norris secured the Sprint Pole with a time of 1’09”243, ahead of a perfect Kimi Antonelli in the Mercedes and his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. George Russell, the resilient Fernando Alonso, and Max Verstappen completed the top six.This was not the outcome Max Verstappen had hoped for in the championship battle, but there is still one Sprint race to contest. Considering the unpredictable weather, everything remains very much up in the air.

Provisional starting grid for the 2025 Brazilian GP Sprint Race (3:00 PM Central European Time)

The FIA took some time to announce the outcome of the investigation concerning Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) for ignoring the double yellow flags during SQ2. Late in the evening, the decision arrived: no penalty, only a reprimand for the seven-time world champion. With this, we can provide the provisional grid for the Sprint Race, scheduled to start at Interlagos at 3:00 PM Central European Time.

Why do we call it a provisional grid? Because team engineers could still identify issues on the cars before tomorrow’s race. If a component subject to regulatory constraints needs to be replaced, the Federation would be forced to drop the driver in that car several positions on the starting grid.
