The battle for the 2025 Formula 1 title has intensified following a red-flag incident at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix Sprint Race, where Oscar Piastri crashed out.
Piastri’s crash occurred on Lap 7 as he was attempting to overtake Andrea Kimi Antonelli, ultimately losing control and hitting the barriers, following in the footsteps of Franco Colapinto and Nico Hulkenberg.
The red flag allowed for repairs to be made to the tyre barriers and for the track to be cleared of debris from Colapinto’s dramatic exit.
Despite the setbacks, Lando Norris emerged as the dominant force by securing pole position for the Brazilian GP Sprint, maintaining a slight advantage over Piastri in the championship standings.
Piastri and Colapinto’s teams face a tight schedule to repair their damaged cars ahead of qualifying, adding another layer of challenge to their pursuit of the 2025 title.
