Motorsport: Norris grabs pole for Brazilian Grand Prix sprint race

# Motorsport: Series leader Lando Norris grabbed his first sprint pole position of the season yesterday to keep his title hopes on track as he topped qualifying ahead of Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli and his McLaren teammate and rival Oscar Piastri. The 25-year-old Briton, who leads Piastri by one point in the drivers’ championship with four Grands Prix remaining, clocked a best lap in the final seconds of a tense session at a warm Interlagos. The four-time champion Max Verstappen, who is 36 points behind Norris in the title race, was in sixth for Red Bul.
