Carlos Sainz led teammate Charles Leclerc in the only practice session for the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend as teams completed a number of various programmes. Red Bull ended way down the order…
Carlos Sainz finished first in practice for the São Paulo Grand Prix, setting a benchmark time of 1:11.732, just 0.108 seconds ahead of his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc. However, the lack of Soft tyre running by some teams, including Red Bull, Mercedes, and McLaren, muddled the picture. Max Verstappen was the fastest on the Hard tyres, followed closely by his teammate Sergio Perez and George Russell for Mercedes. The session was relatively uneventful, with minor issues such as a flexing seat for Verstappen and a screw on Esteban Ocon’s tyre surface. Fernando Alonso suffered a rear-left puncture, while Lando Norris and Nico Hulkenberg made contact, leading to an investigation by the stewards. Finally, Logan Sargeant’s qualifying simulation was disrupted when his Williams three-wheeled around corners, requiring quick repairs. Overall, the final results were a mixed order due to the varying programs being completed by different teams.
