Lando Norris set the fastest time in the first practice session (FP1) for the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos on Friday.

Meanwhile, American driver Colton Herta secured the FIA Super Licence required to compete in Formula 1, clearing a key hurdle for a potential future entry.

Norris, driving for McLaren, topped the timesheets ahead of the weekend's remaining sessions. Herta's superlicence approval follows his successful IndyCar campaign and opens the door for a possible F1 seat.
