Lando Norris pipped McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri with his final lap of the session in Interlagos practice
Lando Norris finished fastest in the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix sole practice session, edging out his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri with a final lap. Norris set a time of 1m09.975s on medium tyres, just 0.023 seconds quicker than Piastri. Despite McLaren’s dominance in headline times, their final order may not fully reflect their peak single-lap pace. Mercedes’ George Russell was the highest-placed among the ‘big-four’ teams in sixth, while Red Bull and Ferrari struggled, occupying lower positions on the timesheets. Yuki Tsunoda of Red Bull had a major incident, damaging both his front and rear wings, losing valuable track time as a result. Additionally, Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) had a challenging session, finishing 19th after a double spin and complaints about his car hitting the floor.
