F1 Sprint Qualifying Today: Brazilian Grand Prix 2025 start times, schedule, TV channel and FREE live stream

The F1 sprint race returns for the fifth time this season at Interlagos for the 2025 Brazilian Grand Prix.

Eight crucial points are on offer for the winner of the 2025 Brazilian GP sprint race, and the results could have major repercussions on the title race.

Lando Norris lords it above Oscar Piastri in the standings by just one point, while Max Verstappen remains 36 and 35 points behind the two McLarens respectively.

A double win at Interlagos is fundamental to the Dutchman's chances of a fifth world title, but with rain forecast for Saturday's sprint the weather gods could be on hand to help Verstappen out.

Before Saturday's 24-lap race however, the grid needs to be set. Here is how you can watch sprint qualifying at the Brazilian GP today (Friday, November 7).
