"Piastri was running third, behind Norris and Mercedes' Andrea Kimi Antonelli, on a damp track when he lost control of the car all on his own and spun into the barrier on the exit of Turn 3. Piastri was not the only driver caught out -- Sauber's Nico Hülkenberg and Alpine's Franco Colapinto also spun coming through the same corner moments afterwards. Colapinto's impact destroyed part of the barrier, meaning the session was red flagged so it could be repaired."
"A radio message from Antonelli to Mercedes suggested Norris had run slightly wide at a kerb coming through the opening sequence of corners, something which dispersed standing water onto the race track. The crash is another setback for the Australian, who appeared at one point in September to have one hand on the title -- he saw a 15-race run as championship leader end two weeks ago when Norris won the Mexican Grand Prix."
Oscar Piastri crashed out of the Interlagos sprint after losing control on a damp track and spinning into the barrier at the exit of Turn 3. Sauber's Nico Hülkenberg and Alpine's Franco Colapinto also spun at the same corner, and Colapinto's impact damaged the barrier, forcing a red flag. A radio message from Antonelli indicated Norris may have dispersed standing water by running slightly wide over a kerb. The red flag came on lap eight of 24; the sprint must reach 50 percent distance for points. Norris now leads the championship by one point and can extend his advantage in the sprint.
