Brazilian Grand Prix signs F1 contract to 2030
The Brazilian GP returned to the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace in 1990 after being held in Rio de Janeiro for 12 years. In 2020, event officials renewed the agreement with F1 for another five years, resulting in the event being renamed as the Sao Paulo GP to reflect the city’s financial contribution. Inspired by the popularity of F1 and the success of the Netflix series Drive to Survive, officials extended the agreement again in order to keep the race on the calendar until 2030. The Interlagos circuit is highly regarded by drivers for its elevation changes and overtaking opportunities. The race was at risk of cancellation due to protests following the presidential election, and there was also a proposal to move the race to Rio, which faced environmental opposition. Despite challenges, the Brazilian GP has continued to attract significant investment and the Interlagos venue now hosts other events, such as concerts.
