Keeping health and safety in mind, Formula 1 recently announced that it wouldn’t be racing in the Americas. The decision to pull the plug on the Brazilian Grand Prix [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/brazilian-grand-prix/] hasn’t gone down too well with the promoter of the Sao Paulo F1 race. Tamas Rohonyi, who promotes the Brazilian GP, didn’t hold back from sharing his honest opinion on the cancellation. Rohonyi dismissed F1’s claims of the rise in COVID-19 cases, playing a part in Formula One’s choice not to race in the Americas. Speaking to Motorsport.com [https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/brazil-gp-cancellation-interlagos-liberty/4843794/?ic_source=home-page-widget&ic_medium=widget&ic_campaign=widget-22], Rohonyi said: “First of all this cancellation caught us not by surprise. But I must say the justification, the reasoning behind it, we cannot accept.” F1 PROMOTER AGREEMENTS HAVE ONLY ONE CLAUSE: BRAZIL GP PROMOTER F1 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/sp-1.jpg]07 RAIKKONEN Kimi (fin), Alfa Romeo Racing C38, action during the 2019 Formula One World Championship, Brazil Grand Prix from November 15 to 17 in Sao Paulo, Brazil – Photo Antonin Vincent / DPPI “They talk about the virus infection rate in Brazil. Which is a bit like comparing California to Florida in a country like Brazil, which is of continental dimensions. “In fact, if you look at the figures of Sao Paulo, even Brazil, in a proportional base, compared to England, it’s much better.” Rohonyi went on to claim that circuit authorities would’ve followed necessary protocols and guidelines while hosting the race. “What I found really strange is that the whole approach is sort of rather simplistic. ‘Oh, it’s the pandemic, we’re terribly sorry, we don’t want to go, we cannot go’.” The Brazilian also highlighted the financial repercussions of canceling the race in South America. Rohonyi revealed that his organization was seeking legal opinion on the cancellation. “F1 promoter agreements have only one clause which would allow any of the two parties to break off the contract. “And none of this is force majeure. We are taking legal advice because there are massive losses by the municipality, and by my company.” Formula 1 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/formula-one/] has compensated for the lack of races in the Americas by announcing 3 events in Europe. Following the Russian Grand Prix on September 6, F1 will race in Imola, Nurburgring, and Portimao. The sport returns to Portugal after a near 25-year gap. The country last held a race in Estoril in 1996. Considering the effect of the pandemic during the early stages of the season, nobody could’ve predicted such a fascinating calendar in 2020.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brazilian Grand Prix 2023 - Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits</h2>
Interlagos. The home of the Brazilian Grand Prix. A circuit where dreams have been lived. A circuit where dreams have died. A circuit that’s seen so much history over the years that it’s become an indispensable part of the Formula 1 calendar. After officially joining the calendar in 1973, Interlagos—or the Autódromo José Carlos Pace—has played host to the Brazilian GP every year except in 1978 and from 1981 to 1989. 

[caption id="attachment_826742" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-826742 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-11-14T171533Z_111717478_UP1EHBE1BXWPO_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-BRAZIL.jpg" alt="F1 race start at Brazilian GP" width="1920" height="1060" /> Formula One F1 - Brazilian Grand Prix - Jose Carlos Pace Circuit, Sao Paulo, Brazil - November 14, 2021 Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas at the start of the race REUTERS/Ricardo Moraes[/caption]

Over the years, it’s been the scene of the culmination of epic title fights, making it a race that everyone anticipated even more than usual. Well, that was until the Abu Dhabi GP joined the calendar in 2009. Since then—bar the three seasons of 2011, 2012, and 2013—the Brazilian GP has been the season's penultimate race. While everyone in the F1 community would love for it to return to its original calendar spot, this year will be even more different.

Scheduled from November 3rd to 5th, it’s Round 21 on the calendar. Instead of being the usual penultimate race of the season, it’s now the third-last race of 2023. Before 2023, the Brazilian GP usually featured a week or two after the US and Mexican GP. To accommodate a newly added Las Vegas GP, F1’s trip to Interlagos, Sao Paulo, has been preponed. Be that as it may, the circuit, in all its glory, is set to deliver like it always does. 

There have been some truly memorable moments in Interlagos over the years. Home hero Ayrton Senna’s first win on home soil in 1991 would be almost every Brazilian fan’s highlight. To make the feat even more remarkable, he did it while stuck in sixth gear for more than 10 laps. Oh, and who can forget the title deciders that have happened here? In 2007, Kimi Raikkonen entered the race third in the championship behind McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Out of all three contenders, Raikkonen was tipped to be the least likely to win. But against all odds, proving his Iceman-ness, he won the race and, with it, the championship.

“Is that Glock? Is that Glock going slowly?” A Martin Brindle commentary that will go down in history as something that’ll haunt Felipe Massa (until he claims the 2008 title, if he does, following his lawsuit against the FIA). The then-Ferrari driver crossed the line in P1, and for half a minute or so, he and his team were ecstatic. Hamilton needed anything better than a P6 to seal the title. Had it not been for Timo Glock struggling through the damo condition in slick tires, the title would’ve been Massa’s. But it was Hamilton’s day as he overtook Glock to take P5 and, ultimately, his maiden championship.

As thrilling as the title fights have been, so have the non-title fights. The 2021 Brazilian GP saw Hamilton make a comeback after receiving 25 places worth of penalties. He started the Sprint in P20 and finished fifth. He started the race in P10 and finished P1. It’s now the most special race of the honourary Brazilian’s career. A year later, his teammate George Russell got his first win at the circuit.

Last time out, in the ever-changing weather conditions in Sao Paulo, Haas’ Kevin Magnussen secured a shock pole position, setting a time of 1:11.674. Neither the Sprint nor the race worked in the Dane’s favor, though. Even so, it was a monumental achievement in a Haas car. Interlagos always springs up a surprise, and F1 2023 is ready for the exciting action that awaits in Brazil!
<h2 style="text-align: center">Most Winners</h2>
Back in the day, the FIA required a new venue to host a demonstration race as a quality check. The 1972 Brazilian GP was Interlagos’ inaugural race (although it wasn’t counted as part of the championship). In its official introduction in 1973, Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi treated the crowd to a home victory. It then spent six glorious years on the calendar until 1981, when Jacarepaguá, Rio de Janeiro, became the race's home (as it did in 1978 as well). But F1 returned to Sao Paulo in 1990; since then, it hasn’t left the calendar.

Frenchman Alain Prost is the most successful driver to race in the Brazilian GP. Having amassed a staggering six Brazilian GP wins, he should ideally be the F1 king of Brazil. But considering five of his wins came at Jacarepaguá and the fact that Interlagos is the real home of the race, someone else pips him to the title.

The most successful driver in Interlagos is Michael Schumacher, who’s won at the circuit four times!

<h2 style="text-align: center">Past Constructors Winners</h2>
Alain Prost won the Brazilian GP with three teams—Renault (1982), Ferrari (1990), and the rest with McLaren. Apart from his four wins for McLaren, the British team has seen Ayrton Senna (2), Emerson Fittipaldi (1), Mika Hakkinen (2), David Coulthard (1), Juan Pablo Montoya (1), and Jenson Button (1) win. With 12 victories at the Brazilian GP, McLaren is the most successful constructor in the South American nation.

Adding to Prost’s singular win for Ferrari, Niki Lauda (1), Carlos Reuttemann (2), Nigel Mansell (1), Michael Schumacher (2), Felipe Massa (2), Kimi Raikkonen (1), and Sebastian Vettel (1) make Ferrari the second most successful in Brazil.

Since 2012, though, Mercedes has won the most Brazilian GPs—6 out of 10.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brazilian Grand Prix Circuit Details </h2>
What makes Autódromo José Carlos Pace one of the greatest circuits of all time? It’s one of the last remaining old-school tracks on the calendar. Made in the 1930s, Interlagos was constructed in undulating terrain on the outskirts of Sao Paulo. Situated between two reservoirs, that’s where the name comes from. As for its official name, José Carlos Pace was a Brazilian driver who won his only race at Interlagos. The circuit was named in his honor after tragically passing away in 1977 in a plane crash.

Coming back to why every driver and fan alike loves the circuit. Over the years, the circuit has had to evolve for safety reasons. Even so, it hasn’t lost its charm and character that everyone fell in love with before the big renovations. Initially, the track was almost 8 kilometers long, but after the safety reforms, when F1 shifted to Jacarepaguá for nine seasons, it was shortened to 4.3km (2.6 miles). Since 1990, when F1 returned to Interlagos, it’s stayed the same.

Before 1990, Interlagos was a clockwise track, a layout that drivers are more accustomed to. But after 1990, it became a counter-clockwise circuit, making the short circuit—where time to rest is almost nonexistent—even more challenging. As much as it is a challenge, it’s also a pleasure to drive. The pit straight has an upward incline that transitions into the iconic Senna S (Turns 1 and 2). The longest straight of the track (the Reta Oposta) is between Turns 3 and 4 (Descida do Lago). As a driver closes in to Turn 6, that’s where the trickiest part of the circuit starts. A series of slow-speed corners, Turns 6 and 7 lead into one the most difficult corners on the track—Turn 8 (Little Orange). The slow-speed section continues till the left-handed Turn 11, after which a short straight leads into a hard left. Turn 12 to 15 is usually done at full throttle, following which the trip through the dramatic elevation changes of Interlagos starts again.

To add to the dramatics of the track, the weather conditions are quite unpredictable. Through the years, the changing conditions have made for exciting sessions like qualifying in 2022, which saw Magnussen take pole. Back at the Singapore GP, when Verstappen qualified in P11, he said Marina Bay isn’t a track where overtaking is possible. He did say Spa-Francorchamps is a circuit where he could win from the back of the grid. Well, Interlagos is like that, too! Lewis Hamilton demonstrated how fighting through the field in 2021 is possible.

The best place to watch the race? The Grandstand at the banked Turn 15 is a lovely place to watch cars go through the twisty second sector and accelerate through the final corners. The Grandstand at Turn 1 overlooks the Senna S—the best overtaking spot on the track. This year, just like 2021 and 2022, is also a Sprint weekend. The new format changes mean twice the qualifying sessions and twice the racing action. So, wherever you decide to tune in from or experience the electric atmosphere live, the Brazilian GP will be one to watch!
<h2 style="text-align: center">Where to watch?</h2>
In the US, all F1 races this season will be broadcast live on TV by ESPNews, ESPN2, ESPN+, or ABC. 

If you’re tuning in from The Netherlands, hoping for a repeat of 2019 for Max Verstappen, Viaplay and Viaplay Xtra will stream all the live action. If you’re not one of the spectators and Intergalos and want to catch all the live action from the comfort of your home, Bandeirantes and Bandsports will keep you company. In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports and Channel 4 will keep you updated. Sky Sports’ Italian and German divisions, Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland, are in charge in Italy and Germany. France can catch all the action on Canal+, Austria on Servus TV, Africa on SuperSport, and Canada on RDS.

In India (and everywhere else), F1TV will provide all the live-action, analysis, and Tech Talks.

In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports and Channel 4 will keep you updated. Sky Sports’ Italian and German divisions, Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland, are in charge in Italy and Germany. France can catch all the action on Canal+, Austria on Servus TV, Africa on SuperSport, and Canada on RDS. In India (and everywhere else), F1TV will provide all the live-action, analysis, and Tech Talks.  Brazilian Grand Prix Tickets Tickets for the Brazilian GP are available on the Official Formula 1 website as well as on the F1 Experiences website. You can choose from a range of tickets, varying from Grounds Passes and Reserved Seats to Premium Hospitality.
