Interlagos Hosts the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday After Norris Tops First Practice

Preview

Formula One’s São Paulo Grand Prix is on Sunday at the Interlagos circuit, where Brazilian rookie Rafael Camara drives for Haas this weekend. Lando Norris was fastest in first practice on Friday.

George Russell takes a five-place grid penalty in Brazil. Mercedes fitted a new combustion engine to his car, and FIA rules punish that with lost places on the starting grid.

In short — The São Paulo Grand Prix is on Sunday at Interlagos, with Norris fastest in first practice and Russell penalised.
