Further information: Formula One tyres

Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C2, C3 and C4 tyre compounds (designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively) for teams to use at the event.[7]

Practice

The only free practice session was held on 3 November 2023, at 11:30 local time (UTC−3).[1] Carlos Sainz Jr. ended the session first, while his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc finished second, with George Russell third.[8][9]

Qualifying

Qualifying was held on 3 November 2023, and was scheduled at 15:00 local time (UTC−3),[10] but was delayed by 15 minutes due to debris on track from a Porsche Carrera Cup Brazil session which took place prior to qualifying.[11][12][13] The session determined the starting order for the main race.

Qualifying report

Max Verstappen took pole position after intense rain caused Q3 to be red-flagged and called off with four minutes remaining. After numerous tribulations throughout the past few races, Lance Stroll found himself in third ahead of his teammate Fernando Alonso, who also improved after numerous struggles in the latter half of the season. This is Stroll's highest starting position since the 2020 Turkish Grand Prix where he took pole position.[14] Oscar Piastri was unable to set a time as his car slipped off into the grass as the weather began to deteriorate, which forced Sergio Pérez to slow, resulting in them starting tenth and ninth respectively.[15]

Penalties were awarded to George Russell, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly for blocking the pit exit in Q1, each driver dropping two places each.[16][17][18] The intense rain caused a grandstand to collapse. No major injuries were reported.[19]
