Lando Norris and Kimi Antonelli trade top times at Brazil Grand Prix practice

During the practice sessions for the 2026 Formula 1 Grand Prix in Brazil at the Interlagos circuit, British driver Lando Norris of McLaren and Italian Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli both demonstrated strong performance. Reports from OmegaLive are contradictory regarding the final ranking: one report states that Norris led the session with a time of 1:11.717, edging out Antonelli by 82 milliseconds, while a later report claims that Antonelli topped the session with a time of 1:10.763, finishing ahead of Norris.

These practice sessions represent the only free practice period scheduled for the race weekend at Interlagos. The results highlight a highly competitive field with extremely narrow margins between the top drivers. As the event progresses, the focus remains on whether McLaren or Mercedes can maintain this form during the qualifying and the main race. No further official confirmation regarding the final classification of these sessions was provided by the source, leaving the exact hierarchy of the practice day subject to conflicting accounts.
