🔥 A classic that never fails

The São Paulo Grand Prix is pure excitement.

Every year, the race at Interlagos, the neighbourhood where the circuit is located, delivers edge-of-your-seat overtakes, unpredictable results, and a crowd that lives Formula 1 with unmatched passion. The legendary 4.309 km track, a stage for historic battles since 1973, will test every driver’s talent and strategy across 71 laps packed with corners, elevation changes, and unforgettable moments. Since its return to the calendar in 1990, this circuit has become an unmissable event: fast corners, steep gradients, and weather that can change everything in minutes.

A circuit of history and passion

Built in 1938 and inspired by Brooklands, Roosevelt Raceway and Montlhéry, Interlagos is one of the most challenging and charismatic layouts on the calendar. Its undulating corners, such as the iconic “Senna S”, promise pure spectacle and overtaking opportunities that can decide the final outcome.

🏎️ The challenge of Interlagos

The classic, short and technical layout demands maximum precision. It has 15 corners and an uphill main straight, offering plenty of overtaking opportunities — especially through the “Senna S”. Tyre strategy and pace management are key to surviving the race. Teams must quickly adapt to São Paulo’s unpredictable weather, where bright sunshine can turn into heavy rain in seconds.

A party on and off the track

The Brazilian GP is more than a race, it’s a celebration. For the Fran Club, it’s the closest round to Argentina, so we expect to see many of you in the stands. And if you’re there, you’ll enjoy live music, exhibitions, interactive fan zones and paddock activities that make this GP a full experience. The Brazilian atmosphere, with its unmatched energy, turns every day into a party that even the most focused drivers can feel.

🩵 Let’s go, Franco!

This year, Franco returns to Brazil with Alpine, determined to write a new chapter at one of the most iconic circuits on the calendar. Grab your mate, your flag, and cheer him on from wherever you are.
