F1 sprint race in Brazil

In unexpected fashion, Kevin Magnussen won the pole position for the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix sprint race in the wet qualifying session.

The Haas driver was the first on the track in Q3 as the rain grew heavier.

However, George Russell's off caused a red flag, which prevented anyone from setting a time before the track became too wet.

Due to this, Magnussen's first-place finish in the top 10 shootout earned him an unexpected pole position for the Brazilian GP sprint race.

Lando Norris of McLaren finished fourth in qualifying despite missing the Thursday track activities due to food poisoning,

but Russell's lap kept him ahead of Norris. Ferrari had a terrible Q3 because they sent Charles Leclerc out on intermediate tyres

before the rain started falling heavily and forgot to call him in before beginning a timed lap.

As a result, he was prevented from setting a competitive lap time because he switched back to soft tires too late and was thus caught by the red flag.
