Watch the Sprint start as Norris holds his lead in Sao Paulo

Lando Norris delivered a masterful performance in the Sao Paulo Sprint, expertly navigating a damp Interlagos track from pole position to retain his lead on the opening lap. The McLaren driver executed a flawless start, pulling away from Mercedes' Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who experienced a slower reaction. Antonelli, despite weaving on the slick surface, commendably held off the charging Oscar Piastri in the second McLaren, securing P2. Further back, early drama unfolded as Liam Lawson made contact with Ollie Bearman's Haas, sending Bearman into a spin and disrupting his race. Norris's controlled drive set the tone for the Sprint.
