After a thrilling weekend in Mexico where Kimi Antonelli was crowned world champion, Formula 1 heads straight to Brazil for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
It could be another big weekend for Mercedes as they have a chance to wrap up the Constructors’ Championship, should they outscore Ferrari by three points or more in this Sunday’s race.
There will be plenty of attention on Ferrari after Lewis Hamilton called for “serious talks” after he felt his team-mate Charles Leclerc cost them a one-two in Mexico.
Max Verstappen was the driver to take advantage of the Ferrari squabble and he will aim for a fourth win in five races for Red Bull.
Lando Norris won last year’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix and McLaren will bring upgrades to the car this weekend, so could also be in contention for victory.
Sao Paulo GP track – Interlagos circuit layout
Interlagos is adored by every driver thanks to its undulation and character around the 2.677-mile circuit, which is one of the best for racing.
While the middle sector is very twisty, the long blast uphill from Juancao (Turn 12) all the way to the Senna S chicane at Turn 1 provides a great overtaking spot and the battle often continues down to Turn 4.
Watch the best overtakes from Max Verstappen’s stellar performance at the 2025 Sao Paulo Grand Prix which took him all the way from the pit lane to the podium
