LANDO NORRIS FLIES IN BRAZIL, WIDENS LEAD OVER MCLAREN RIVAL OSCAR PIASTRI

Following his colleague and primary adversary Oscar Piastri's failure to complete the 24 laps at the historic and partly wet Interlagos track, Lando Norris won the sprint race on Saturday at the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix, increasing his lead in the drivers' title race to nine points. After starting at the top of the standings, Norris gained eight more points to reach 365. Piastri, along with Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg and Alpine's Franco Colapinto, skidded around turn three and slammed into the wall. He is still in 356 ahead of Sunday's race. At Interlagos, qualifying will happen later.
In a sprint race that was also filled with collisions, featuring Sauber's home crowd favourite Gabriel Bortoleto being hard-hit onto the wall in the final lap, the McLaren driver finished ahead of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes.
After the McLaren driver lost some of his lead because of soft tyres, Antonelli finished just 0.845 seconds behind Norris.
After the sprint race, Norris remarked, "Kimi definitely was not making my life easier." "A tough race is to be expected in Brazil; it is definitely not going to be easy."
Max Verstappen of Red Bull crossed the finish line in fourth place and shook his head in dismay. He currently has 326 after adding five more to his total.
The Ferrari vehicles did not perform well in the sprint race; Lewis Hamilton and Charles LeClerc finished in seventh and fifth place, respectively.
Recently, Norris won in Mexico City.
Piastri was only 0.185 seconds behind Norris, who won the sprint pole by a mere 0.097 seconds over Antonelli.
Piastri has been having trouble lately; he has lost five races and has not placed on the podium since finishing third in Monza, Italy, two months ago.
Due to the red flag raised by the events involving Piastri, Colapinto, and Hulkenberg on lap six, Norris was able to swap to soft tyres and maintain a dominant position for the whole of the sprint race.
Verstappen, who hopes to become the fourth driver to win five world championships, has won in Brazil before, having started from 17th place and gone on to win in 2019, 2023, and 2024.
Rain is predicted for the remainder of Saturday and Sunday. Because of the heavy rains a year ago, the qualifying was postponed until Sunday.
On team radio after his crash, Bortoleto claimed he was fine, although Sauber confirmed he would be examined by a doctor as a precaution.
MAX VERSTAPPEN’S BRAZIL WEEKEND SHOCK — PIT LANE START LOOMING
Red Bull may start Max Verstappen from the pit lane at the Brazilian GP after a shocking Q1 exit. The team is considering "drastic changes" to fix the RB21's setup, a move that would break parc fermé rules.

Red Bull is considering starting Verstappen in the pits following the Q1 shock.
Red Bull appeared to have finally found their stride again when it arrived in Interlagos. They were back in a hole by the end of qualifying, and they were facing a humiliating call that might force Max Verstappen to start in the pit lane on Sunday.
The RB21 was obviously lacking in speed and grip in all the wrong spots, and teammate Yuki Tsunoda was similarly unable to get out of the first sector after Verstappen was knocked out in Q1. Between the Sprint and qualification, the team reversed the cars out of the parc fermé, followed a daring course, and ended up getting lost. The dilemma now is whether to rip it up, break parc fermé once more, and start from the pits, or to double down on a misfiring configuration.
Helmut Marko was straightforward. Despite being fully aware that doing so would require Verstappen to launch from the pits rather than the P16 he now drives, he told Austrian TV that Red Bull will sit down and determine whether "drastic alterations" are required to wake the car up. Marko's conclusion was straightforward: Red Bull did not increase, the track climbed up, and grip vanished where it mattered. The stopwatch verified that Sectors 1 and 3 were the warning signs.
Just when Verstappen had established a run of six consecutive podium finishes to bolster his title challenge following Lando Norris' surge at the front, this is a gut punch. The wobble was previously hinted at in Mexico: Verstappen's podium there was more down to skill than speed in a race that Norris controlled, and Red Bull supplied bits but failed to receive the return. The group believed they had grasped the direction. Brazil disagrees.
The voice was regretful within the garage. When you roll the dice before quali and snake eyes appear, it is "the price you pay," as Laurent Mekies put it. The RB21 fell out of its sweet spot despite Red Bull's best efforts to expand its window for Interlagos' bumps and quick changes. It was apprehensive upon entrance, lethargic on traction, and far from compliant during the quick direction change at the Senna "S" and the sprint back up the hill during qualifying trim.
What is the play, then? Rather than violate parc fermé, take a pit-lane start, and give Verstappen a car he can really race with, why not stick with a problematic package and trust him to brute-force something out of it starting on 16th? If the car reacts, Interlagos may reward a clean, aggressive Sunday with chances offered by DRS trains and tyre life. Pit lane becomes less of a punishment and more of a reset if you are Red Bull and you think the baseline is essentially incorrect.
That path has a strategic advantage. The team is able to make ride height, wing, and mechanical adjustments that could extend the RB21's operating window and safeguard the back tyres, which is crucial in this situation, thanks to a pit-lane start. Interlagos loves a curveball, and if Safety Cars mess up the order, it also opens up an off-sequence approach. The danger is clear: by sacrificing track position, you could have recovered with a clean first lap and a focus on safety. Everyone in the garage wearing navy blue usually ends up with a car that Verstappen can rely on as a reward.
We all see the wider picture. Red Bull cannot afford to let free points linger in a setup sheet as Norris leads the rankings going into São Paulo. Even though Verstappen has been making podiums out of weak weekends, this one needs more than just tyre expertise. It must be reset.
Soon, we will be able to tell which way they jump. In any case, Sunday has already evolved into a test of a different kind for Verstappen and damage limitation for Red Bull. The nasty weekends, where you battle the car just as much as the field, are often crucial to title runs. This is among them. It might also be the day that Red Bull's season turns around if they have the courage. Otherwise, be prepared for a long afternoon attempting to get an uncooperative RB21 to cooperate around a circuit that penalises hesitation.
The margin has disappeared. A single swing can transform the automobile from compliant to difficult, and Red Bull's latest improvements have not produced the desired step. That was made public by Brazil. Who can adjust more quickly, the driver in the cockpit or the engineers on the pit wall? You would bet on the latter with Verstappen. However, the team must allow him to succeed.

When can we expect to see Liv Morgan on WWE programming once more?
Following an unfortunate dislocated shoulder injury sustained during the June 16 episode of RAW, the former Women's World Champion has been absent from the WWE Universe. She may return sooner rather than later, though, based on a recent tease.
WWE Superstar Liv Morgan was present at Stranger Things Season 5's red carpet premiere. Morgan believed that Dominik Mysterio, the current double champion and member of The Judgment Day, would be the best WWE Superstar to defeat a Demogorgon.
"As the AAA Mega Champion and the WWE Intercontinental Champion, he can pretty much do anything," Liv Morgan remarked.
Regarding her professional life, Morgan acknowledges that she would be delighted to have Eleven as her tag team partner because she feels the two of them have a lot in common.
"Even after being knocked down, she always gets back stronger and more powerful than before," Liv Morgan remarked. She is the most recognisable. Since I would not have to do any work, she would make the ideal tag team partner. She would go above and above for me.
Morgan did not reveal anything when asked if she would soon be returning to WWE, but she hinted that it might happen soon.
Liv Morgan hinted, "I guess everyone will simply have to watch me."
