Lando Norris delivered under intense pressure to take pole position for Saturday’s sprint race at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Norris, who reclaimed the world championship lead with a statement win in Mexico a fortnight ago, will have a golden opportunity to further extend his advantage with both of his title rivals behind him on the grid for Saturday’s 24-lap dash to the chequered flag in Interlagos.
