Norris Eyes Brazilian Sprint Victory, Championship Extension
Sรฃo Paulo, Brazil – Lando Norris willโ start fromโ pole positionโค in Saturday’s Formula 1 sprint race at Interlagos, aiming to build on recent strong form and extend his lead in the championship standings. โThe McLaren driver dominated โขsprint qualifying and Friday’s practiceโ session, signaling a potential โbreakthrough performance at โthe Brazilianโข Grand Prix.
This year’s F1 season, which beganโ onโ March 16 with the Australianโ Grand Prix and concludes December 7 in abu Dhabi, has seen a remarkable streak of different pole-sitters โฃin each of the five sprint races โคheld thus far. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari, China), Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes, Miami), โOscar Piastriโค (Belgium), and Max Verstappen (Austin) each secured top qualifying positions beforeโค Norris’s triumph. While Hamilton and Verstappen haveโฃ been the โonly drivers to convert sprint pole into a win, Norris’s recent โฃsuccessโค – including a dominant victory in Mexico with a lead exceeding half aโ minuteโฃ – positions him as a strong contender.
The driver’s title is currently โฃdefended by Max Verstappen of red Bull, while mclaren holds the constructor’s championship.โ This weekend presents aโข crucial possibility forโฃ Norris to solidify his position asโข the season โคprogresses.
