F1 2024 Sprint Race Today: Brazilian Grand Prix starting grid with penalties applied

The Dutchman will have his work cut out for him in Interlagos however, with title rival, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri both starting the race ahead of him, giving McLaren yet another opportunity to increase their lead ahead of Ferrari and Red Bull in the constructors' standings.

The race on Saturday will be Piastri's second sprint starting from pole, his strong past form posing an interesting conundrum for the papaya outfit over whether they will need to introduce team orders for Norris to gain as many vital points as possible as he looks to close the gap to Verstappen in the drivers' championship.

The scarlet Ferrari of Charles Leclerc is set to start the sprint from P3, the Scuderia having proved themselves the team to beat so far in the triple-header, with Leclerc and team-mate Carlos Sainz having secured a win apiece in Austin and Mexico City.

Reserve driver Ollie Bearman will appear behind the wheel of a Haas once again for the sprint after Kevin Magnussen was unable to compete in Friday's practice or qualifying sessions due to illness, the team eagerly monitoring the young star's performance ahead of his full-time F1 debut from 2025.
