It has been a tough triple header for the team - and the final day of competition continued in very much the same way. Qualifying and the race itself were bittersweet: Lewis struggled for confidence in the car, and did not progress past Q1 in a session that saw several cars finish out of position; George was able to build greater confidence in the rear end in particular and took a strong P2 on the grid. The aborted start led to some unusual circumstances but when the race proper began, George ran strongly at the head of the field until the VSC came out at the same time as a heavy rain shower. We wanted to use that opportunity to change his worn intermediate tyres and were followed into the pits by Norris from second place - while Verstappen and the Alpine drivers stayed out and took the gamble on a Safety Car or red flag, which subsequently came. When racing resumed, with everybody on new tyres, George was able to get past Leclerc into P4 but then - as we saw up and down the field today - got stuck behind an ultimately slower car and was unable to overtake, without DRS available. It was the same story for Lewis a little further back, who climbed into the points but was unable to pass Lawson despite several close attempts. P4 and P10 feel like a meagre reward after leading the first part of the race, but there's plenty for us to pick through and learn from across this weekend, and from the last three races. We will be focusing on that work in the coming days, to give ourselves the strongest foundation for the final triple header of the season

McLaren's Lando Norris won the sprint race in Brazil, while team orders and Max Verstappen's penalty were much discussed. One of the main topics of the day was the watercooled tyre story. While these were being discussed, the qualifying scheduled for the afternoon were postponed due to heavy rain.
So how will the grid be set for Sunday's Grand Prix or when will qualifying be organised? Jon Noble and Filip Cleeren reporting from the Interlagos Circuit.

Francesca Albanese says there is nothing that prevents a UN member state from abiding by international law, and states individually have an obligation not to aid or assist a state “which is committing atrocities day in and day out”.
“They have to stop those who are still transferring weapons [to Israel]… and also buying or purchasing military and security services from Israel must stop,” she told Al Jazeera.
Albanese said any trade with Israel must be “interrupted”, adding that diplomatic and political sanctions must also be applied.
“Whoever is not taking these steps is either responsible or completely indifferent to the plight of millions of Palestinians,” she noted.

McLaren-Mercedes duly dominated the Brazilian GP sprint race and - as predicted - instructed Oscar Piastri to give the win to Lando Norris.
Thanks to some edgy decision-making on the pit wall, however, it was a close-run thing: instead of telling their drivers to swap positions early in the race, when Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was under pressure from Red Bull's Max Verstappen, McLaren left the instruction to the bitter end, at which point a VSC seemed likely.
They got away with it but it was a close-run thing, as Peter Windsor points out in this video. Verstappen found a way past Leclerc but then lost the position again when he was handed a five-second penalty for being below the minimum time behind the Safety Car when the track turned green.
Ferrari thus sandwiched Verstappen, as they had in qualifying, with Carlos Sainz P5; George Russell was sixth for Mercedes but Sir Lewis Hamilton, after losing ground at the start, could only finish a dismal P11.

Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, announces the largest army deployment in peacetime, with 10,000 more police and soldiers being sent to help people recover from the deadly flooding. The death toll in the Valencia region has risen to 211 people. But local have criticized the authorities for being poorly prepared, saying they feel "abandoned by the government". Hundreds of volunteers have now taken it upon themselves to help, as police fear more bodies are hidden in the wreckage of the floods. Sky's Europe correspondent Adam Parsons talks to some of those affected in town of Paiporta.
