Formula 1 returns this Sunday to Interlagos to contest the São Paulo Grand Prix. The race will start at 18:00 hours in mainland Spain, four hours after the start time scheduled at the Brazilian circuit. In the Canary Islands, the lights will go out at 17:00.
The event will be contested over 71 laps at the José Carlos Pace Autodrome, one of the circuit’s historic layouts on the calendar. The day does not include a sprint race, so the schedule follows the usual format of practice sessions, qualifying, and the Grand Prix.

Alonso and Sainz, on the Interlagos grid

The final grid is also conditioned by the penalties applied to several drivers. The race result may be relevant in the final stretch of a season in which Kimi Antonelli has already secured the world title, according to the information published by Formula 1.
