In the session preceding qualifying the Spaniard and the Monegasque set the best times ahead of the Englishman. Red Bull and McLaren far away (but they ran on hard tires)
– Sao Paulo (Brazil)
We begin in the name of Ferrari. At Interlagos best time for Carlos Sainz junior in free practice for the Brazilian GP preceding the qualifying session to designate pole for Sunday’s race. This weekend too we will race in the Sprint format and therefore the only free practice session for everyone, with quite surprising results on the San Paolo track. Sainz in 1’11″732 preceded the other red of Charles Leclerc, 108 thousandths behind. The two Ferraris set the time in the last 5 minutes, preceding George Russell’s Mercedes, which led the classification for a long time times.

It was a session of searching for the best set-up in view of the qualifying sessions scheduled for 7pm, after which the single-seaters can no longer be touched. Fourth is Nico Hulkenberg on the softs, then there is Alex Albon’s Williams and then Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin. Pierre Gasly’s Alpine was seventh, then Zhou’s Alfa Romeo and Sargeant’s second Williams. In short, quite mixed values because the big names above all looked for the setups in view of the most important sessions, without forcing them by fitting the soft ones.
hard tires

Among these Max Verstappen, who has the 16th fastest time overall but set with the hard tyre. And the same goes for the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who are in the last two places in the standings, but also with the hard compounds. Preceded by Sergio Perez with the second Red Bull, also with hard tyre. At 7pm we race for pole.
