Lando Norris has outscored Oscar Piastri at all of the past five grands prix
Lando Norris pipped McLaren team-mate and title rival Oscar Piastri to the fastest time at the very end of practice at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Norris, who took the championship lead from Piastri by one point following his win in Mexico City two weeks ago, beat the Australian by 0.023secs.
Until then, Piastri had been the fastest McLaren driver throughout the hour of running before sprint qualifying at 18:30 GMT.
Max Verstappen, the only other driver in realistic title contention, 36 points behind Norris, was down in 17th place as his Red Bull team ran a different programme.
