Motor racing-Sao Paulo GP qualifying postponed to Sunday due to rain
Qualifying postponed after two hours of delays
F1 boss says conditions not safe
Race start time brought forward
Adds new timetable

SAO PAULO, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Qualifying for Brazil's Sao Paulo Formula One Grand Prix was rescheduled for 0730 local time (1030GMT) on Sunday with the race start brought forward by 90 minutes after rain and lightning made conditions unsafe on Saturday.
The race will now start at 1230 local (1530GMT) instead of 1400 (1700GMT).
After being delayed for two hours with no improvement in conditions, amid fading daylight, officials decided Saturday's qualifyingcould not proceed.
"It's a pity but the conditions are not safe to drive, as simple as that," Formula One chief executive Stefano Domenicali told F1 television in a pitlane interview as the rain continued to fall. "Racing in these conditions is impossible."
The governing FIA said the decision was taken due to poor visibility and standing water.
"The safety of drivers, team members, volunteers, officials and spectators is our main priority," it said in a statement.
Qualifying has been held on a Sunday in the past, most recently at the 2019 Japanese Grand Prix when a passing typhoon forced a delay.
Saturday's sprint race at Interlagos, won by Lando Norris in a McLaren one-two, was held in dry conditions as was Friday practice and sprint qualifying.
More rain is forecast for Sunday.
Brazil is the 21st round of the 24-race championship and the last of an American treble on successive weekends.
Red Bull's triple world champion Max Verstappen leads closest rival Norris by 44 points and any race cancellation would have a huge impact on the title outcome.
If all goes ahead as planned, Verstappen will have a five place grid penalty for the race after exceeding his engine allocation.
