I can see why Norris is frustrated, he's going to be getting his tyres overheating, he wants clear air. He does not need to be overheating his tyres behind Piastri, at this rate McLaren are going to mess things up.
Lap 11/24
Sergio Perez has climbed the order, too. The Mexican spots a chance to pass Ollie Bearman and take the Briton's ninth place. Liam Lawson in the RB is still holding on to the final points position in eighth.

Oliver Bearman, who will be joining Haas next season, makes an overtake on temporary team-mate Ncio Hulkenberg and is now up to ninth place.
Engineer: "Give Lando DRS"
Lap 9/24
Max Verstappen is now banking the fastest laps of this 24-lap race and is staying in the hunt of the top three.
Hang on. McLaren are on the phone to Oscar Piastri...

Norris really wants this team order to happen now, he's bunched in behind his team-mate and once you're in the dirty air it's difficult to do too much more.
Lap 8/24
Any thoughts of Oscar Piastri shifting aside to let Lando Norris take the lead can be put on hold for the moment. The Australian is keeping this P1 spot for himself, for now, and is around eight-tenths clear of his McLaren team-mate.

Leclerc is now on the tail of the top two. Verstappen has fallen away from DRS range from Leclerc now.
Lap 7/24
Lando Norris is on the team radio to say he's confused as to what the plan is. Oscar Piastri is out in front but the Briton is feeling the heat from the Ferrari and the Red Bull.
Lap 6/24
The fastest lap goes to Charles Leclerc and his Ferrari and the Monegasque driver continues to chase down the McLaren of Lando Norris. Max Verstappen is also gaining on the the top three but isn't in a position to make a move just yet.
Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 Live
No sign of team orders out front [for McLaren] at the moment. Norris looks quicker, but so far no way through.
Lap 5/24
Charles Leclerc is staying on the rear wing of Lando Norris, while the Briton in turn is attached to his team-mate Oscar Piastri. Norris wants the Australian to quicken up the pace so he doesn't come under too much pressure from the Ferrari in third.

Lap 4/24
Sergio Perez has climbed up to 11th in the Red Bull but as it's a sprint, that position won't be good enough for points. Liam Lawson and Pierre Gasly are holding firm in the final two points places.

Verstappen is the man applying the pressure and Norris is right with his team-mate as well.
The laps are frantic here, just one minute and eleven seconds and we may have a fight for the lead.
Lap 3/24
Max Verstappen is waiting for an opportunity to pounce on Charles Leclerc and tries his luck at Turn Four. It doesn't quite pay off, so fourth place will have to do for the moment, but Red Bull tell the Dutchman to just be patient.
Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 Live
It was a fantastic getaway from Piastri, covered off Norris immediately and McLaren still have one-two.
Lap 2/24
The Red Bull of Max Verstappen is pressuring Charles Leclerc for fourth place but the Ferrari is blocking off the attack so far. Oscar Piastri has opened up a 0.506 seconds on team-mate Lando Norris and leads this Brazil sprint.
Lap 1/24
The Saturday sprint is on!
Oscar Piastri covers off the threat from team-mate Lando Norris and stays in first place heading to the first corner. Charles Leclerc in still in third and Max Verstappen is just behind in fourth.
Lewis Hamilton has lost places in the Mercedes and is now running in 14th spot.
