The Sao Paulo skyline became increasingly heavy as dark clouds drew over the Interlagos circuit, prompting an early queue for laps as rain looked to be imminent in the opening phase of the session. When it emerged, the circuit descended into darkness to prompt the throwing of a red flag, as the rain finally came once the opening laps had been concluded. Verstappen ensured he was at the front of the queue, and set the only time in Q3 below the 1m11s mark as the overall pace had dissipated.
A brief cleaning of the circuit prompted a 15-minute delay to Q1 proceedings, as Pirelli had reported issues with stones and screws on the track surface during FP1. The threat of rain arriving in the middle of the 18-minute Q1 session prompted a flurry of second runs to cover it off, although the rain had not emerged at this point.
