Lando Norris will lead the F1 field off the grid after securing pole position for the São Paulo Grand Prix.
The Briton beat Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli to the top spot on Saturday by almost two-tenths of a second.
Following his crash in the sprint race, Oscar Piastri will be hoping for a stronger showing this time around as he lines up in fourth place, alongside Charles Leclerc.
Max Verstappen will have his work cut out for him as he starts from the pit lane, having suffered his first Q1 exit since Russia, 2021.
The Dutchman had qualified in P16, but Red Bull opted to change power unit components in his RB21 and make set-up changes, which come with a penalty as undertaken in parc ferme conditions.
Esteban Ocon, who was due to line up P17 for Haas, will also now start from the pit lane.
See how the grid is set to line up below!
NOTE: The grid remains provisional until confirmed by the FIA.
