Qualifying at the Brazilian Grand Prix was postponed on Saturday afternoon due to heavy rain at the Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo.
Qualifying will now take place at 12pm (GMT), though heavy rain is expected on Sunday too.
It remains to be seen how the grid for Sunday’s race would be decided if qualifying was unable to take place.
The session, which sets the grid for Sunday’s grand prix, was constantly pushed back on Saturday afternoon, with the FIA conducting regular checks of the track surface.
However, at 5pm local time, FIA race director Niels Wittich made the decision to postpone the session.
The race is still set to start at 5pm (GMT) – 2pm local time.
Lando Norris, in dry conditions, had earlier won the sprint race in Brazil to cut the deficit to Max Verstappen in the world championship to 44 points.
Verstappen received a post-race penalty for a virtual safety car infringement, dropping him from third to fourth.
The three-time F1 world champion also has to serve a five-place grid penalty for Sunday’s grand prix after taking a new engine.
