Senna. Häkkinen. Hamilton. Verstappen. Lando Norris now shares an Interlagos record with those names after claiming his third consecutive pole at the Brazilian circuit.
Three visits. Three poles. And now, a place alongside some of Formula 1’s greatest names.
Lando Norris’ pole in Brazil brings his Interlagos total to three, matching the circuit record. He becomes the seventh driver to reach that mark, joining Ayrton Senna, Mika Häkkinen, Felipe Massa, Rubens Barrichello, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
That’s quite a list to put your name on.
Three poles, three consecutive years
Norris took pole here in 2024 and 2025 before completing the sequence in Saturday’s rain-hit qualifying. His 1:27.470 put him 0.204 seconds ahead of George Russell.
The distinction matters: all seven drivers share the record for three total poles at Interlagos. Norris has collected his three consecutively, from 2024 through 2026.
This is a circuit-specific record, rather than a count covering every venue that has hosted the Brazilian Grand Prix.
A record earned before the race begins
Interlagos has tested generations of drivers, and Norris now shares its pole-position benchmark with champions and Brazilian favorites alike.
It doesn’t make their careers equivalent. It does give Norris a precise achievement alongside theirs: nobody has more poles at this circuit.
