Carlos Sainz led a Ferrari 1-2 ahead of team-mate Charles Leclerc in the only practice session for Formula 1's Brazilian Grand Prix.
All 20 drivers wasted no time getting out as the condensed sprint race format only leaves teams a single-hour practice to nail down their set-ups for the entire weekend. Because of the lack of practice time, duties were split between race runs and just a handful of qualifying sims, with all teams kicking off proceedings on a dry Interlagos circuit on Pirelli's hard tyre compound. Red Bull's world champion Max Verstappen immediately set a lap of 1m13.
McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri propped up the timesheets after not setting times on the softest compounds, electing to save them for later. The session ran without noteworthy incidents, although Norris and Hulkenberg escaped damage when they made glancing contact at the final corner, which netted the German a trip to the stewards. Hulkenberg later appeared to lose power coming out of Turn 4, trundling back to the pits.
