F1 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix starting grid with penalties applied

The starting grid for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix is yet to be determined after a colossal rainstorm hit Sao Paulo on Saturday.

As a result, the circuit in Interlagos saw huge rainfall ahead of qualifying, just a few hours after Lando Norris won the F1 sprint.

Initially, this led to multiple delays, with the FIA issuing several updates on when the session would get underway.

However, in the end, their hand was forced, with qualifying called off at 5pm local time with daylight in Sao Paulo running out.

When doing so, the FIA confirmed that qualifying will now take place on Sunday, November 3rd, just hours ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix itself.

How does 2024 clock change affect F1 start time?

Whilst time zones in the United Kingdom and Europe saw a time change overnight last weekend, US daylight saving time ends on the first Sunday of November (Sunday, November 3) – this weekend.

This means that the clocks will go back an hour overnight in the early hours of Sunday for those in the United States.

F1 fans in the USA should therefore feel more rested for Sunday's main event having gained an extra hour of sleep, although it could be an early start for some keen to catch the delayed qualifying action.

With qualifying set for 7:30am local time in Sao Paulo, in the United States, the action will start at 5:30am (EST), 4:30am (CST) and 2:30am (PST)

Meanwhile, Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix will start at 2pm local time and therefore at 10:30am (EST), 9:30am (CST) and 7:30am (PST)

Of course, if further wet weather affects qualifying, there is every chance that previous results from the weekend, which you can see below, could come into effect for the starting grid. This, however, remains to be seen, with multiple options available.
