The Brazilian Grand Prix circuit is one of those unique marvels on the F1 calendar. A short distance at just 4.309 km, Valtteri Bottas’ 1:10.540 in 2018 is the fastest a driver has ever raced around Autodromo José Carlos Pace. But this short circuit packs a big punch.
Turns 1 and 2 are known as the Senna ‘S’, a swirling downhill left-right sequence that starts with a sharp left-hand turn from the short run off the grid. This can create a concertina effect, with drivers fighting for position early on.
The exit out of two is crucial, as it sets the car up for the wide turn three and straight into turn 4. This is a DRS zone, so could be key for overtaking.
