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.
