F1 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix starting grid with penalties applied

The starting grid at Interlagos!

Max Verstappen will start the Brazilian Grand Prix on pole after surging to the front of the grid despite a storm bringing an early halt to qualifying.

The recently crowned world champion timed his Q3 lap to perfection and set the fastest time before torrential rain drenched the circuit at Interlagos.

He will be joined on the front row by Charles Leclerc, with Aston Martin duo Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso lining up in third and fourth respectively.

Lewis Hamilton is fifth but team-mate George Russell was one of three drivers to be hit with a two-place grid penalty for ignoring the race director's instructions.
