McLaren driver Lando Norris is hoping for wet weather at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix after Mercedes demonstrated concerning pace in dry conditions, according to reports from the Brazilian circuit.
The British driver's comments come as teams evaluate their competitive positions ahead of the race weekend at Interlagos. Mercedes appears to have found strong performance in dry running, potentially threatening McLaren's recent form.
Norris, who has been in contention for race wins in recent rounds, acknowledged that rain could level the playing field and disrupt the expected competitive order. The Sao Paulo circuit has a history of unpredictable weather that can dramatically affect race outcomes.
The Brazilian Grand Prix represents a crucial opportunity in the championship battle, with both drivers' and constructors' titles still mathematically alive heading into the latter stages of the 2026 season.
