F1 Brazilian GP qualifying delayed by heavy storm
Qualifying for the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix has been delayed after a deluge of rain began to fall half an hour before the session was due to begin at 1500 local time.
The sprint race had run on Saturday morning in dry conditions, with McLaren’s Lando Norris winning ahead of team-mate Oscar Piastri.
But between the sessions it began raining at Interlagos, with the FIA allowing teams to close their garages because of the downpour.
With the radars suggesting rain would continue and with lightning spotted over the track, the decision was taken to delay the start of qualifying indefinitely.
The next update was due to be announced at 1530 local time, 30 minutes into when qualifying was originally scheduled for.
