A statement from the FIA on the qualifying session for the Brazilian GP being postponed and when we’ll find out what time on Sunday it will take place:
“The Qualifying for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix is postponed.
“The decision was taken due to the lack of visibility caused by the level of rain we have experienced in the past few hours. There is a lot of standing water on parts of the circuit which renders conditions unsafe.
“As much as we would all like to see competition on track, the safety of drivers, team members, volunteers, officials and spectators is our main priority.
“A decision on a start time for Qualifying tomorrow morning will be taken as soon as possible.”
Keep in mind, the Grand Prix is set for 5 p.m. UK time tomorrow, with qualifying expected to take place earlier in the day, weather permitting. Stay tuned for further updates.
