We have seen the grid decided without all of qualifying taking place in the past, such as at COTA in 2015 when Q3 was cancelled. Therefore it’s possible Q1 or Q2 could end up setting the grid.

Encouragingly we are 10 minutes away from the start of the qualifying session

“Better” is very much a relative term, however. The Safety Car is out on the track and there’s clearly a lot of standing water around.

It’s still wet at the circuit but the prospects of the session going ahead look better than yesterday. Here’s a clarification on what would happen if qualifying has to be cancelled.

It’s 7am at Interlagos and the delayed qualifying session for the Brazilian Grand Prix is due to begin in half an hour.

So we have no qualifying session today. Our live coverage will resume tomorrow when qualifying is rescheduled.

The start of qualifying has been postponed. More information here.

Another delay to the starting time, it’s now 5pm.

The estimated start time of qualifying has been delayed to 4:45pm.

Qualifying normally takes one hour if there are no interruptions. So if they start on time at 4:30pm and there are no red flags they can finish the session before sunset at 6:21pm. That is a big ‘if’, however.

A further delay to the projected start time. Race control now say they expect to begin at 4:30pm local time.

Rain is still falling at the track, the prospects of getting the session started on that projected time do not look good. More concerningly, the forecast for tomorrow is dire as well.

The estimated starting time of qualifying has been pushed back to 4:15pm local time.

Race control says the estimated starting time for qualifying is 4pm.

Qualifying has been further delayed, another update is due at 3:30pm.

The start of qualifying has been delayed due to rain at the track. Next update at 3pm.

Qualifying for the 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix is coming up next.
