Brazil is a motorsport-mad country and São Paulo is the hub, which best encapsulates that petrol-headed love. Interlagos, meaning ‘Between the Lakes’, is located 16km south of São Paulo. It’s an anti-clockwise circuit, high(ish) in altitude but more of a mere molehill in comparison to the Everest of Mexico City.
Interlagos isn’t quite in the same league as Abu Dhabi or Bahrain, per say, for its facilities. Having been built in the 1940s, it has stayed true to that particular racing era over the years. But boy does it make up for it in the chills factor. It’s a truly special place to call the office for the race weekend, and when you cast your mind back to all the legendary moments to have happened around Interlagos, it always sends a shiver down the spine.
Join us later today for the latest updates and results from the Brazilian Grand Prix, as the qualifying session is about to get underway, with Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc at the wheel of the SF90, ready to challenge Mercedes and Red Bull for pole position.
