Formula 1 has agreed a new five-year contract for the Brazilian Grand Prix to remain at Interlagos in Sao Paulo until the end of the 2030 season.
The championship returned to the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace in 1990, after a switch to Rio de Janeiro 12 years previously, and in 2020 event officials renewed terms with F1 for another five years. Previously, the venue did not pay a hosting fee. But that revised deal until 2025 came at a cost of £2.7million per year. As such, the event was renamed as the Sao Paulo GP to reflect the city’s financial outlay.
7-mile lap is widely popular among drivers for its elevation and overtaking possibilities. The GP was at risk of interruption last year amid the incumbent far-right populist Jair Bolsonaro losing the presidential election and roads being blocked as part of subsequent protests.
