Qualifying for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix Was cancelled on Saturday due to extreme weather conditions around the track in Brazil.
Lando Norris is hoping to close the gap to Max Verstappen even further after he finished second last weekend in Mexico, while Verstappen was resigned to sixth on the back of two penalties in the race.
He benefitted from winning the sprint race earlier in the day ahead of McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri, with Verstappen fourth on the back of another penalty for speeding under the virtual safety car.
But the weather worsened as the day went on, and light was also lost despite the best efforts of officials to clean the track and get it ready for qualifying.
Teams are hopeful that as rearranged session can be held on Sunday before the race, with governing body FIA yet to confirm any plans following the postponement.
Ferrari team principle Fred Vasseur told Sky Italy when the weather hit: ‘I think that we have to wake up quite early tomorrow morning for the quali.
‘It’s heavy rain and I don’t know about the tarmac and if it’s raining properly, but we already have some lakes in some corners, it will be difficult.’
Norris currently trails Verstappen by 44 points, but needs to close the gap at a rapid pace with just four races left in the season.
