Lando Norris will start from pole position at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix after FIA penalties significantly altered the final starting grid for Sunday's race at Interlagos.
The McLaren driver secured the top spot in qualifying, but post-session sanctions imposed by the FIA stewards have shuffled the order behind him. The penalties affected multiple drivers, creating a revised grid that differs from the original qualifying classification.
Norris's pole position gives McLaren a strong starting advantage at the Brazilian circuit, where overtaking opportunities can be limited. The British driver will look to convert his front-row start into a victory as the 2026 Formula 1 season continues.
Further details regarding the specific penalties and the complete revised starting order are expected to be confirmed by the FIA ahead of the race start.
