F1 2024 Brazil GP Saturday: Norris Wins Sprint As Qualifying Is Rained Off

Listen on

Episode notes

Jonathan Noble and Filip Cleeren continue their coverage of a newsworthy Saturday at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

The Sprint opened the day, and with it, McLaren taking a 1-2 finish, but with Lando Norris in front after a swap of positions between the Brit and teammate Oscar Piastri with just three laps to go. Jonathan and Filip break down the "good problem to have" for McLaren as they delicately juggle team orders, and the threats of Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen. There's also an explainer on why Verstappen dropped to fourth with a five-second time penalty for a Virtual Safety Car infringement.

But soon after, the rain came pouring down at Interlagos, so much of it that Qualifying has been delayed until Sunday morning, with the stewards potentially holding the power to shape the grid for the Grand Prix if the rain persists. Jon and Filip preview what could happen on Sunday, and who they think are favourites for victory.
