Brazil GP qualifying postponed after heavy rain and lightning at Interlagos

03 November 2024 00:06 (UTC +04:00)

Qualifying at the Brazilian Grand Prix was postponed on Saturday evening due to heavy rain at the Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo, APA reports citing Independent.

Qualifying is now scheduled to take place at 9am local time (12pm GMT), though heavy rain is also expected on Sunday too.

It remains to be seen how the grid for Sunday’s race would be decided if qualifying was unable to take place.

The session, which sets the grid for Sunday’s grand prix, was constantly pushed back on Saturday afternoon, with the FIA conducting regular checks of the track surface.

However, just before 5pm local time, FIA race director Niels Wittich made the decision to postpone the session.
