Lando Norris enters Sprint Qualifying in São Paulo as the narrow favourite after topping the only free practice session in Interlagos.
The championship leader went quickest in practice by just 0.023s from team-mate Oscar Piastri, who appears to have rediscovered some pace after his recent difficulties.
McLaren had a huge six-tenths advantage in practice over the next quickest car, which happened to be Stake F1's Nico Hulkenberg.
Ahead of qualifying for Saturday's Sprint, there are huge question marks surrounding Red Bull and Ferrari, due to Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton and Yuki Tsunoda having ended practice in the bottom four.
However, the four drivers only set lap times on the hard tyre. Will they find pace in sprint qualifying? It's time to find out!
