F1's jam-packed Brazilian Grand Prix weekend will see the competitive action continue at Interlagos on Saturday with qualifying for Sunday's main event.

This year, the Sao Paulo track is host to the penultimate sprint race of the 2025 season, meaning that the drivers will have a quick turnaround from the Saturday morning sprint to qualifying for the grand prix, which will take place at 3pm local time (BRT).

With a chaotic weather forecast looming over Saturday's on-track events and a championship fight which continues to swing between Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen, the Brazilian GP once again has all the elements to become a race to remember.

At last year's event, Verstappen wowed the crowd by stealing the grand prix victory despite starting P17, so make sure to tune in for Saturday's qualifying to see where will he end up starting from on Sunday.
