What happened: Charles Leclerc will start 14th on the grid for the São Paulo Grand Prix at Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace. Ferrari prepared for wet conditions after qualifying left the Monegasque driver deep in the midfield.

Why it matters: Starting from the seventh row complicates Ferrari's pursuit of McLaren and Mercedes, who locked out the front row. The setback challenges Leclerc, who sought a reset after a decade in Formula 1 amid persistent execution issues.

What to watch: Rain forecast during the grand prix presents tactical opportunities for drivers attempting to move through the field.
