And so far our live today! Thank you so much for joining us for one more day in this exciting sprint leaderboard.

We come back tomorrow with the Brazilian Grand Prix race. We are waiting for you!

“It already makes me laugh, especially when I was on the 15th and the 18th… Very funny,” Alonso began to explain for ‘Danz’ while adding, “What usually happens whenever we go out together s happened. Last year I tried to avoid him several times, this year he tried to push me against the wall in Jeddah, Hungary and again…sooner or later these things happen, I can’t say anything”.

“Too bad for the mechanics, who are working hard, but I hope to be able to come back tomorrow. I had pace throughout the race, so even starting fifteenth, I can score good points for the team,” said he concluded.

The most Alonso achieved was finishing 15th. The Spaniard saw how his teammate jumped on him both in Turn 4 and on the straight, causing him to lose his front wing. Fernando had to come into the pits to change it and he fell to last position.

“I lost the front wing… Thanks to our friend,” was Alonso’s message on the radio complaining about Ocon.

“I didn’t expect to have so much pace. It shows the work we’ve done as a team. In the last few races with the car, it’s been great,” began by explaining Russell.

“It’s a bit more difficult because in this race you have to know how to manage the risk, even if I wanted this victory, I couldn’t risk much, but in the end I was first,” he said. – he continued, adding: “It’s great to have both of you in the front row. I’m sure Max flies through the grid. Maybe we can split the strategy and get the win.

“Normally we degrade more than the Mercedes. We saw that they were pushing very hard. I managed to gain several positions at the start and then I had to be aggressive because I have a penalty tomorrow. The Mercedes are very strong in the last few races,” explained Sainz after finishing second.

“It’s very difficult to overtake here and with Red Bull either you’re aggressive under braking or you don’t overtake them, they are very quick on the straights. I’m sorry if I collided with them,” he said. he added about his touch. with Max.

“It’ll be interesting to see tomorrow when we all go with the medium, like Max did today. We’ll see how he performs. We’ll have to have a good run tomorrow,” Sainz concluded.

Sainz manages to finish second but will not start from this position. He must comply with a grid penalty of five places due to the change of part of the power unit.

Thus, he will start from the seventh position.

“Very happy to be here. A difficult day yesterday. Today I was able to overtake. Congratulations to George, it shows the work of the factory and the boys. It’s an incredible result for us. We are both started from the front row, we’ll have to work as a team and keep the rest behind,” Hamilton explained after qualifying for the sprint.

“A win here in Brazil would be amazing,” he added.

Start the engines! The drivers leave the track before the start of the sprint classification.

Magnussen starts from pole position followed by Verstappen and Russell. Norris is fourth ahead of Sainz, Ocon and Alonso. Hamilton, Checo Pérez and Leclerc complete the top ten spots.

Albon is eleventh and is followed by Gasly, Vettel, Ricciardo, Stroll and Latifi. Zhou starts 17th, Bottas 18th, Tsunoda 19th and Schumacher 20th.

All the drivers with soft tires except Verstappen who starts with mediums. The Dutchman starts second and follows a different strategy than the others.

The drivers get into their respective cars. Note that the tires are going to be key, most likely they will all go soft.

The pilots are already in their respective starting positions. The mechanics are finalizing the details before the start of this sprint classification.

Magnussen was the first out for a dry first attempt before the rain set in, which helped him claim his first pole position.

Verstappen finished second and Russell third. Sainz finished fifth and Leclerc, who was the opposite of everyone else, couldn’t do better than a tenth position. Alonso will be seventh.

That the rain was going to reach Interlagos in Q3 was something everyone knew, but as soon as it started some like Magnussen decided to go fast to try and get a good dry lap.

Ferrari felt that getting ahead of the rain was a good idea and put Leclerc on hold waiting for the rain to arrive immediately. He does not have. It took them a while to call him back to the pits to get dry. Shortly after, the rain came.

The Haas driver did the miracle. Kevin Magnussen takes an unexpected pole position in qualifying marked by intermittent rain.

When we told him he had reached the first place, he couldn’t believe it: “Are you kidding”
