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

The first F1 race of two this weekend at the Brazilian Grand Prix takes place TODAY (Saturday, November 8), with the sprint race taking centre stage before qualifying for the main race.

With the championship battle as tight as it is, this weekend at Interlagos could be absolutely crucial in ensuring the fate of our three championship protagonists, with 33 points on offer during the sprint weekend.

Lando Norris currently leads his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri by a single point in the drivers' championship, while Max Verstappen is another 35 points behind Piastri.

And it is Norris who will be starting the sprint race from pole, as he looks to further extend his advantage at the top, with eight points on offer for the sprint race winner.

Piastri will start from third behind Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, while Verstappen is all the way down in sixth, hoping to make his way through the field and start to close the gap to his two championship rivals.
