Watch Sao Paulo Grand Prix live streams as McLaren's Lando Norris starts a race weekend in the title lead for the first time since April. The Briton will keep his eyes peeled for teammate Oscar Piastri and in-form defending champion Max Verstappen with 132 points up for grabs in the last four Grands Prix of a fascinating 2025 season.
McLaren teammate Piastri starts in fourth, with Charles Leclerc of Ferrari in third, and the Australian will need a good start to get back to his title rival after he'd earlier crashed out of the Sprint. The biggest surprise of the qualifying session, though, was Verstappen who failed to make it out of the opening session and will start down in 16th. It was the Dutchman's first Q1 elimination since 2021.
Norris recovered from a mistake early in the final session to clock a superb time when it mattered most at a track he has dominated all weekend thus far.
Sunday is race day in Brazil and the tension couldn't be any bigger. Here’s how to watch the Sao Paulo Grand Prix online from anywhere and potentially for FREE.

What is the Sao Paulo Grand Prix weather forecast?
Let's just say, it's time to dust off the wet tyres and make sure everything therein is in order. Yep, it looks like rain.
Heavy rain is predicted for parts of Saturday's Sprint and GP qualifying, interspersed with sunshine.
Sunday is expected to be drizzly, which could cause its own problems as teams struggle to decide which tyres to use.
Could be interesting, then.
What is the Sprint race format?
The Sao Paulo Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, is one of six race weekends in 2025 to feature a Sprint. Over a 100km distance, the drivers compete in a fast-moving race designed to encourage lots of overtaking and less strategy.
First to take the chequered flag gets eight points, down to one point for finishing eighth. Sprint qualifying takes place on Friday, with the Sprint race the first track action of the day on Saturday.
Lewis Hamilton recorded his maiden Ferrari win in the China Sprint in March, McLaren's Lando Norris took the flag in Miami in May and Red Bull's Max Verstappen was first in Belgium in July and in October in the US edition.
After Sao Paulo, the final Sprint of the season is scheduled for Qatar.
What is the Sao Paulo Grand Prix preview?
Norris' dominant win at the Mexico City Grand Prix two weeks ago ensured he took a one-point lead over teammate Piastri and will want similar returns in Brazil, especially with a Sprint to further boost his haul. Aussie Piastri, in his third F1 season, hasn't made it onto the podium since a team order debacle in Monza five races ago to cede what had been a 30-point-plus lead.
Verstappen recovered well after some early controversy to finish third to Norris in Mexico and continues to look an ominous threat. The Dutchman has taken 134 points from a possible 158 over the past six races and is now just 36 behind Norris.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was runner-up two weeks ago, with Oliver Bearmann in the Haas achieving the best finish of his nascent career to cross the line in fourth. Lewis Hamilton, though, will want to improve after another disappointing race. The Briton had qualified in third but received a 10-second penalty for leaving the track while gaining an advantage and was unable to recover to finish eighth.
