Antonelli suffers pre-race scare as he spins on way to Sao Paulo GP grid

Kimi Antonelli spun on his way to the grid for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix after locking up at the Junção corner ahead of what is set to be a wet race.

The Mercedes driver managed to get going again and is set to start second alongside pole-sitter Lando Norris.

Antonelli went straight on at the left-hander and spun on the grass as he tried to find traction. He managed to make it back onto the track under his own power.

Junção had already caught out three drivers in Saturday's wet qualifying. Gabriel Bortoleto and Rafael Câmara both hit the barriers there, while Carlos Sainz went off at the same corner in both Q1 and Q2.

Antonelli qualified third on Saturday but was promoted to the front row after Mercedes teammate George Russell received a five-place grid penalty.
