“Max Verstappen secured pole position for the 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix despite a sudden storm disrupting the qualifying session. Lando Norris of McLaren had initially shown strong pace, being faster than Verstappen in Q2, but his late track entry in Q3 prevented him from maintaining the fight. Verstappen managed to set a time of 1m10.727s, beating Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari by almost three tenths of a second. Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin filled the second row, followed by Lewis Hamilton and George Russell of Mercedes. Norris finished in seventh place, while Carlos Sainz had a mistake and ended up in eighth. Both Alpines, the two Haas drivers, and Alex Albon’s Williams were eliminated in Q2. In a tight battle in Q1, where just 0.453s separated the fastest and 15th place, Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda were among those eliminated.”
