Red Bull Racing's Sergio Pérez topped the timesheet in the sole practice session before qualifying for the 2022 FIA Formula 1 São Paulo Grand as F1 embarked ...
The Spaniard went just 0.001s quicker than Hamilton but Leclerc then appeared to beat both with a lap of 1:11.857. They were followed by Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher, as Bottas and Pierre Gasly rounded out the top 10. Alfa Romeo’s Bottas then edged ahead but the Dutchman was quickly back in control with a lap of 1:13.646 which he then reduced to 1:13.575 as the session reached the quarter-hour mark. Pérez made his way to P1 early in the session, running hard tyres to set a lap of 1:14.477 set in the first five minutes of the session. The Briton was more than three tenths off the pace of Pérez, however. Russell then went again and this time he got closer, just 0.202 off Pérez. He was then eclipsed by Hamilton who got to within two tenths, sitting 0.187 off the Mexican table topper. Leclerc headed out on medium tyres and took third 0.5s off the pace. As the final quarter of the session approached, Mercedes’ George Russell jumped up to fourth with his first run on the softs. His Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz, who will take a five-place grid penalty on Sunday for using a sixth engine of the season in Brazil, moved ahead to take P3, almost three tenths off Pérez but using the medium tyres. A quiet period followed as drivers prepared for qualifying simulations and Pérez jumped back to the top of the order when he became the first to lap on soft tyres after 25 minutes. The Mexican driver set a time of 1:11.853 to take P1 and he was followed by Verstappen who finished 0.008s adrift on a 1:11.861s, complaining that his car didn’t want to turn in.
Kevin Magnussen's pole position for the Haas Formula 1 team at the Brazilian GP will join other similar underdog achievements in the sport's history books.

Follow the action in our live blog below! As I said, nothing points to us having awesome pace tomorrow. Follow all the action in our live blog below. Then we made some changes, but obviously quite different conditions. But Ricciardo says there’s no indications those conditions will benefit his McLaren. “We aborted the last lap, it started getting a bit more slippery at turn one,” he said after Q2. “To be honest, it didn’t feel that bad. Not really sure why, yet, because nothing felt off, just didn’t feel like we had as much as the rivals in most cases.” Follow all the action in our live blog below! There was just no way I could do those lap times.
