2024 Brazilian Grand Prix Qualifying F1 results (Interlagos)

Here are the complete results from the rearranged qualifying session for the Brazilian Grand Prix at the iconic (and very wet!) Interlagos circuit.

Fernando Alonso and Alex Albon added to a hugely disrupted qualifying session as they both crashed out at Interlagos. With Stroll’s car also wrecked from Q2, it left just seven drivers on the track to survive the final few timed laps attempt.

Norris, who was on provisional pole in between the session stoppages, found further improvement on both his final runs to clinch the P1 spot by 0.173 seconds with George Russell in second.

Tsunoda, Ocon and Lawson all pumped in incredible laps to round out the top five, with Leclerc, Albon and Piastri following next.

Another qualifying session, more red flags.

The first was Carlos Sainz who, like Colapinto in Q1, lost his car trying to navigate his way through the Senna esses. It resulted in another session stoppage, just as drivers were starting to switch from the full wets to intermediates.

Sainz’s crash created a frantic five minute ending to Q2, with Charles Leclerc one of the big names struggling to make an impression on the top of the timesheet.

And then, with just over two minutes to go, Stroll became the next victim of the Senna esses and that prompted the stewards to thrown down another red flag.

That meant disaster for Red Bull as both Max Verstappen, who already had to serve a five-place grid penalty, and Sergio Perez were knocked out in Q2 alongside Sainz, Gasly and Bottas; the latter just 0.008s away from reaching Q3.

F1 results: Brazilian Grand Prix – Q1

At 0730 local time on a Sunday morning, there was long line of F1 drivers desperate to get out on track after Saturday’s qualifying session was completely rained off.

Wet conditions, a newly resurfaced track and cold morning temperatures gave this session the perfect ingredients for yellow and red flags.

And, after a couple of minor yellow-flag incidents, the session was fully stopped halfway through Q1 as Franco Colapinto lost it in the wall on the exit of the Senna esses. That red flag put his team-mate Alex Albon, plus George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, in big danger of being knocked out in Q1 with the rain continuing to fall.

Thankfully, the repair work where Colapinto went into the wall was completely quickly, allowing a frantic Q1 session to resume.

Russell was able to get himself out of trouble but Hamilton was having a harder time of climbing out of the Q1 elimination zone. Max Verstappen, meanwhile, had a lap time deleted which put him hovering just above the drop zone.

Verstappen would then go on to set the quickest time of the Q1 session with his final effort, but it was disaster for Hamilton, who failed to get out of Q1 in conditions that he has dearly loved over the course of his establish career.

“This damn car, man,” he bemoaned after he was told he would lining up P16 on the Brazilian Grand Prix grid.
