Formula 1 returns this weekend to the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo, also known as Interlagos. This weekend will feature the sprint race format, which means that the competition for the sprint race qualification begins immediately on Friday. Below, you’ll find the full schedule, so you won’t miss a moment of the São Paulo Grand Prix.
The historic Interlagos circuit is known for its technical corner combinations, elevation changes, and sharp turns, such as the Senna S and the Curva do Sol. With a length of 4.309 kilometers, the Autódromo José Carlos Pace offers 15 turns. The lap record is held by Valtteri Bottas with a time of 1:10.540.
For fans in the Netherlands, this means they can tune in later in the evening due to the time difference. The action begins on Friday with a free practice followed by the qualification to determine the starting grid for the sprint. On Saturday, we get a double dose of excitement with the sprint race and the qualification for Sunday’s race. The week concludes on Sunday with the main race, where Max Verstappen must once again give it his all to keep Lando Norris behind him in the championship.
