Minute-by-minute updates of the 2024 Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix
Lando Norris will start from pole position for the Brazilian Grand Prix after a dramatic, delayed qualifying session which saw five red flags as Franco Colapinto, Alex Albon, Lance Stroll, Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz all crashed out.
After a Q2 exit and a five-place penalty, Max Verstappen will provisionally start from 17th, but could move up the order if drivers are forced to withdraw.
The race will get under way at 12:30pm local time, 3:30pm GMT.

Asked if Alpine had worked on a wet set up, Ocon concedes, "No. I love it here when it rains and it has brought a special race for us."

The three-way fight for ninth has been paused for a little bit, but is still the most likely to offer us a change of position. Hamilton was delayed slightly on the power through Turn 2, which allowed Perez to get a run but Hamilton placed his car perfectly on the run to Turn 4 which kept the door firmly shut.

Verstappen's likely win means he could just settle the matter with a win in Las Vegas. This is even before a potential penalty for Norris later in the evening.

Hamilton is still trying on Lawson, but hasn't been properly close enough to take a proper look - as Perez did earlier. No DRS of course, which would hugely help his cause.

This is getting silly now with how much pace Verstappen has. A complete masterclass with another fastest lap - 1m21.069s. Five laps remain.

If this finishes now, Alpine will jump from ninth to sixth in the constructors' championship. That's potentially a $50m reward.

No further investigation necessary on the Lawson-Perez squabble at Turn 2 earlier. A penalty for either party would have been harsh.

Perez now takes a sniff at grabbing 10th back from Hamilton, the pair briefly running side-by-side through the infield, before Hamilton resumes his pursuit of Lawson. All action stuff in the lower reaches of the points.

Hamilton has yo-yo'd in and out of the points today, and now in tenth is taking a good look at Lawson. The Kiwi's impressive defences mean he has fallen back a little way from Tsunoda ahead.

Contact between Perez and Lawson has been noted; that is the third time the stewards have taken a look at Lawson in that section of track, having been spun earlier by Piastri and overtaken Hamilton in semi-robust fashion. "He drove into the side of me," is Lawson's verdict over the radio on the Perez clash.

Lawson can't afford a single misstep as Hamilton is also lurking in Perez's wheeltracks. Perez has a big go at Turn 1, and he bangs wheels with Lawson, but the Kiwi remains ahead. Then Perez runs wide into Turn 4 and lets Hamilton by!

Having had a go at Piastri, Tsunoda has dropped off the back of him again. Lawson meanwhile still has his mirrors full of Perez, who is up for the fight.

It's certainly not too much to suggest that, should Verstappen clinch a fourth title, this will be a day that he looks back on as being the decisive moment.

Norris is stuck behind Leclerc and is unable to find a way past. It's very much like the situation with Russell earlier on.

Piastri becomes the latest driver to make a little mistake at Juncao, which drops him into the clutches of Tsunoda. The Japanese gets a run and tries a move on the outside, but Piastri just holds on to seventh spot.

No further investigation for Leclerc. A sensible decision there, and it mirrors similar incidents.
