Logan Sargeant struggles to keep his Williams on all four wheels during practice at the Sao Paulo GP
Carlos Sainz led Charles Leclerc in a Ferrari one-two in the only practice session ahead of qualifying for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix at 6pm on Friday. Sainz was one tenth quicker than Leclerc as both Ferrari drivers put on the soft tyres at the end of practice to edge out George Russell, who was third but on the mediums.The other leading runners including Lewis Hamilton, the Red Bulls and McLarens didn't complete competitive runs on the medium or soft tyres so were down the order.
Coming into the weekend, the Woking-based team did not expect to be competitive in Sao Paulo due to the tight middle sector, but they showed strong pace on their incomplete fast runs.Norris ran the medium tyre but set purple sectors, as did Piastri on the softs. However, both drivers abandoned their laps and came into the pit lane when they were on course to be in the top three.
