F1 Brazil GP - Start time, how to watch & more

Lando Norris strengthened his grip on the 2025 Formula 1 world championship by taking pole for the Brazil Grand Prix, shortly after winning the sprint contest.

That is compared to McLaren team-mate and title rival Oscar Piastri, who crashed out of the Saturday race before qualifying fourth at Interlagos.

Piastri will join Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc on the second row, while Mercedes rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli shares the first row with Norris.

Title outsider Max Verstappen, meanwhile, is down in 16th after constant struggles with his RB21.

So things are looking good for Norris, who leads the championship by nine points with four grands prix remaining. How will that look after the Brazil Grand Prix? Here is how to watch it all.
