P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Wondering why it is not the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend at Interlagos? Well, that’s to do with a new contract and the city wanting to promote itself.
The Brazilian Grand Prix is a highly regarded race in Formula 1 and has witnessed many championship-deciding moments. Several drivers, including Alonso, Raikkonen, Hamilton, and Button, have clinched World Championships at Interlagos. Ayrton Senna’s memorable victory in 1991, battling through adverse conditions, further adds to the race’s legendary status. Although the race was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, it returned in 2021 under the name Sao Paulo Grand Prix. The change in name reflects a new contract that secured the race at Interlagos until 2025 and highlights the involvement of local authorities, aiming to promote the city worldwide. This renaming trend is similar to the Mexican Grand Prix becoming the Mexico City Grand Prix.
