F1 Qualifying Results: Pole Position for São Paulo Sprint
The 2025 Formula 1 season is nearing its end, yet competition remains fierce. As teams and drivers gather in São Paulo, the fight for supremacy continues to intensify.
Title Race Heats Up
Max Verstappen’s dominance at the United States Grand Prix in late October, where he claimed both the Sprint and main race, positioned the four-time World Champion firmly back into the title race.
Lando Norris then answered with a commanding win in Mexico City, putting him atop the standings. Norris now leads his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri by just a single point — 357 to 356 — while Verstappen trails in third with 321 points.
Constructors’ Championship Battle
McLaren has already secured a second straight Constructors’ title. However, the contest for second place remains as tight as the drivers’ championship. Ferrari holds a slender one-point lead over Mercedes — 356 to 355 — while Red Bull, with 346 points, continues to close in after Verstappen’s strong recent performances.
São Paulo Grand Prix Preview
This weekend’s São Paulo Grand Prix marks the penultimate Sprint weekend of the 2025 season. Qualifying will determine the starting order for the F1 Sprint, where the winner will earn eight valuable points — every one of which could prove decisive in the closing stages of the championship.
