Interlagos F1 Records & Statistics

Interlagos F1 records and Brazilian Grand Prix statistics

Interlagos has produced one of the richest collections of Formula 1 records in South America. Officially known as the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, the São Paulo circuit has hosted generations of Formula 1 drivers and constructors and has repeatedly provided an important stage for victories, qualifying performances and championship battles.

This page is dedicated to the statistical history of Formula 1 at Interlagos. The database above brings together race wins, pole positions, podium finishes, Ferrari records, fastest laps, qualifying records and historical race results associated specifically with the circuit. For other venues, use the F1 Circuit Records & Statistics database.

Who has won the most Formula 1 races at Interlagos?

The all-time winners table shows which drivers have recorded the most Formula 1 victories at Interlagos. The circuit has appeared in the World Championship across several different competitive eras, allowing drivers from different generations to build significant records in São Paulo.

Victory totals are counted by circuit rather than simply by Grand Prix name. That distinction matters because the Brazilian Grand Prix has not been held exclusively at Interlagos throughout its World Championship history, while the event itself is now officially known as the São Paulo Grand Prix.

Most successful F1 constructors at Interlagos

Constructor records reveal which Formula 1 teams have enjoyed the greatest sustained success at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace. The ranking above counts victories achieved at Interlagos, allowing the historical records of Ferrari and its rivals to be compared across multiple decades.

Because regulations, engines, tyres and aerodynamic concepts have changed dramatically over that period, the totals are best understood as records of repeated success at the circuit rather than direct evidence that one generation of car was faster than another.

Interlagos pole position records

The pole-position rankings provide a separate measure of success from race wins. Interlagos has a relatively short modern lap, which can produce tightly matched qualifying sessions where small differences in lap execution have a significant effect on grid position.

The database identifies the drivers and constructors with the most Formula 1 pole positions at the circuit. Tied totals use competition-style rankings so equal records remain equal rather than being separated artificially.

Drivers and teams with the most Interlagos podiums

Podium finishes give a broader view of long-term competitiveness at Interlagos. A driver may not lead the victory ranking but can still establish an exceptional record through repeated top-three finishes over many seasons.

The podium tables therefore help distinguish occasional victories from sustained success. Constructor podium totals provide the same perspective at team level and can be compared with the separate rankings for wins and pole positions.

Ferrari’s Formula 1 record at Interlagos

Interlagos has an especially notable place in Ferrari’s Formula 1 history. Brazilian drivers, Ferrari world champions and several generations of Scuderia machinery have all contributed to the team’s record at the São Paulo venue.

The Ferrari statistics above consolidate the team’s Formula 1 victories, pole positions and podium finishes at Interlagos into one historical reference. They can also be compared with Ferrari’s records at Monza, Monaco, Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, Suzuka and the other circuits available in the database.

Interlagos fastest lap and qualifying records

The fastest race lap and fastest qualifying lap represent two different kinds of Formula 1 performance. Qualifying is focused on producing maximum pace over a single lap, whereas a race fastest lap can be influenced by tyre age, fuel load, traffic, strategy and the stage of the Grand Prix at which it is recorded.

For that reason, the database keeps the two records separate rather than presenting one universal Interlagos lap record. The current-layout figures above provide the relevant race and qualifying benchmarks available in the historical dataset.

Why historical Interlagos lap records need layout context

Comparing lap times at Interlagos across Formula 1 history requires particular care because the circuit has undergone major changes. The original version of Interlagos was substantially longer than the compact configuration used by modern Formula 1.

A lap time from an older layout therefore cannot meaningfully be compared with a modern lap simply by looking at the stopwatch. The layout records table separates the recorded circuit configurations and associates available race and qualifying records with their relevant periods.
