In a dramatic turn of events at the Sao Paulo GP, Alex Albon has officially withdrawn from the race following a heavy crash during the qualifying session. The weather played a significant role as relentless rain led to multiple accidents, including five that caused the qualifying to be postponed and further disrupted. Lando Norris managed to secure pole position despite the challenges, while reigning champion Max Verstappen faced setbacks, starting from 17th place due to a grid penalty and the chaotic conditions. Amid this turmoil, F1 officials have adjusted the start times for the race and qualifying. As teams and drivers navigate the conditions, the outcome of the weekend remains uncertain.
