Formula One returns to the Autódromo José Carlos Pace for the São Paulo Grand Prix for the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

‍
The 4.3km historic Interlagos circuit is a favourite amongst drivers and fans alike with the local support providing an unmatched atmosphere.

‍
The track boasts iconic aspects such as a snaking in-field section with challenging camber changes as well as the wiggling Senna S section.

Interlagos is another circuit that we unfortunately didn't get the opportunity to visit in 2020, so I am really excited to go back there this year. It is a very old school track with plenty of character and lots of undulation. We also have the Sprint Qualifying format returning which holds some different challenges to the usual race weekends, so all in all I'm very excited.

‍
FP1 for the São Paulo Grand Prix will get underway at 3:30 pm GMT on Friday, November 12.
