The Brazilian Grand Prix made its debut in 1972 at the Interlagos circuit. However, it was not part of the Formula One World Championship at the time. But, as time progressed, it became a fan favourite race on the F1 championship calendar. However, according to the latest rumours, developments are underway in Rio de Janeiro. The plan is to create a brand new circuit designed by Herman Tilke. If the plan goes ahead, it could spell doom for Sao Paulo in terms of hosting an F1 GP. Rio has not had a race track since 2012, when the Nelson Piquet [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Piquet] Autodrome was demolished. This was done to make way for the construction of the Rio 2016 Olympic Park. A new racetrack was a commitment made by Brazilian authorities before the IOC. Now, MotoGP is eyeing the venue for its Brazilian GP set for 2021. Furthermore, the mayor of Rio, Pastor Marcelo Crivella, intends to announce the transfer of the Formula 1 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/formula-one/] race from São Paulo to Rio. The bidding for the implementation, operation and maintenance of the autodrome of the Park will take place on February 21st. If successful, it would be the first step toward the loss of Interlagos on the F1 calendar. F1 [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1413458734184_wps_2_General_view_of_the_Autod.jpg]The Interlagos circuit São Paulo, is at a continued risk of real estate speculation, and this has escalated again for 2019. Security risks of the race track are foremost on Liberty Media’s mind, with armed escorts being a common sight to protect the teams and VIPs during a GP weekend. The new Rio track promises a safe environment with modern safety standard in place. This is due to the freedom of being purpose built in an open space. With 20 corners, the 5.4 kilometre circuit will provide modern paddock facilities with easy access to the city for spectators, and unlike Interlagos – there’s less crime risk as there’s not a Favela located next door to the track.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brazilian Grand Prix 2023 - Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits</h2>
Interlagos. The home of the Brazilian Grand Prix. A circuit where dreams have been lived. A circuit where dreams have died. A circuit that?s seen so much history over the years that it?s become an indispensable part of the Formula 1 calendar. After officially joining the calendar in 1973, Interlagos?or the Aut?dromo Jos? Carlos Pace?has played host to the Brazilian GP every year except in 1978 and from 1981 to 1989.?

[caption id="attachment_826742" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-826742 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-11-14T171533Z_111717478_UP1EHBE1BXWPO_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-BRAZIL.jpg" alt="F1 race start at Brazilian GP" width="1920" height="1060" /> Formula One F1 - Brazilian Grand Prix - Jose Carlos Pace Circuit, Sao Paulo, Brazil - November 14, 2021 Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas at the start of the race REUTERS/Ricardo Moraes[/caption]

Over the years, it?s been the scene of the culmination of epic title fights, making it a race that everyone anticipated even more than usual. Well, that was until the Abu Dhabi GP joined the calendar in 2009. Since then?bar the three seasons of 2011, 2012, and 2013?the Brazilian GP has been the season's penultimate race. While everyone in the F1 community would love for it to return to its original calendar spot, this year will be even more different.

Scheduled from November 3rd to 5th, it?s Round 21 on the calendar. Instead of being the usual penultimate race of the season, it?s now the third-last race of 2023. Before 2023, the Brazilian GP usually featured a week or two after the US and Mexican GP. To accommodate a newly added Las Vegas GP, F1?s trip to Interlagos, Sao Paulo, has been preponed. Be that as it may, the circuit, in all its glory, is set to deliver like it always does.?

There have been some truly memorable moments in Interlagos over the years. Home hero Ayrton Senna?s first win on home soil in 1991 would be almost every Brazilian fan?s highlight. To make the feat even more remarkable, he did it while stuck in sixth gear for more than 10 laps. Oh, and who can forget the title deciders that have happened here? In 2007, Kimi Raikkonen entered the race third in the championship behind McLaren?s Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Out of all three contenders, Raikkonen was tipped to be the least likely to win. But against all odds, proving his Iceman-ness, he won the race and, with it, the championship.

?Is that Glock? Is that Glock going slowly?? A Martin Brindle commentary that will go down in history as something that?ll haunt Felipe Massa (until he claims the 2008 title, if he does, following his lawsuit against the FIA). The then-Ferrari driver crossed the line in P1, and for half a minute or so, he and his team were ecstatic. Hamilton needed anything better than a P6 to seal the title. Had it not been for Timo Glock struggling through the damo condition in slick tires, the title would?ve been Massa?s. But it was Hamilton?s day as he overtook Glock to take P5 and, ultimately, his maiden championship.

As thrilling as the title fights have been, so have the non-title fights. The 2021 Brazilian GP saw Hamilton make a comeback after receiving 25 places worth of penalties. He started the Sprint in P20 and finished fifth. He started the race in P10 and finished P1. It?s now the most special race of the honourary Brazilian?s career. A year later, his teammate George Russell got his first win at the circuit.

Last time out, in the ever-changing weather conditions in Sao Paulo, Haas? Kevin Magnussen secured a shock pole position, setting a time of 1:11.674. Neither the Sprint nor the race worked in the Dane?s favor, though. Even so, it was a monumental achievement in a Haas car. Interlagos always springs up a surprise, and F1 2023 is ready for the exciting action that awaits in Brazil!
<h2 style="text-align: center">Most Winners</h2>
Back in the day, the FIA required a new venue to host a demonstration race as a quality check. The 1972 Brazilian GP was Interlagos? inaugural race (although it wasn?t counted as part of the championship). In its official introduction in 1973, Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi treated the crowd to a home victory. It then spent six glorious years on the calendar until 1981, when Jacarepagu?, Rio de Janeiro, became the race's home (as it did in 1978 as well). But F1 returned to Sao Paulo in 1990; since then, it hasn?t left the calendar.

Frenchman Alain Prost is the most successful driver to race in the Brazilian GP. Having amassed a staggering six Brazilian GP wins, he should ideally be the F1 king of Brazil. But considering five of his wins came at Jacarepagu? and the fact that Interlagos is the real home of the race, someone else pips him to the title.

The most successful driver in Interlagos is Michael Schumacher, who?s won at the circuit four times!

Alain Prost won the Brazilian GP with three teams?Renault (1982), Ferrari (1990), and the rest with McLaren. Apart from his four wins for McLaren, the British team has seen Ayrton Senna (2), Emerson Fittipaldi (1), Mika Hakkinen (2), David Coulthard (1), Juan Pablo Montoya (1), and Jenson Button (1) win. With 12 victories at the Brazilian GP, McLaren is the most successful constructor in the South American nation.

Adding to Prost?s singular win for Ferrari, Niki Lauda (1), Carlos Reuttemann (2), Nigel Mansell (1), Michael Schumacher (2), Felipe Massa (2), Kimi Raikkonen (1), and Sebastian Vettel (1) make Ferrari the second most successful in Brazil.

Since 2012, though, Mercedes has won the most Brazilian GPs?6 out of 10.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brazilian Grand Prix Circuit Details?</h2>
What makes Aut?dromo Jos? Carlos Pace one of the greatest circuits of all time? It?s one of the last remaining old-school tracks on the calendar. Made in the 1930s, Interlagos was constructed in undulating terrain on the outskirts of Sao Paulo. Situated between two reservoirs, that?s where the name comes from. As for its official name, Jos? Carlos Pace was a Brazilian driver who won his only race at Interlagos. The circuit was named in his honor after tragically passing away in 1977 in a plane crash.

Coming back to why every driver and fan alike loves the circuit. Over the years, the circuit has had to evolve for safety reasons. Even so, it hasn?t lost its charm and character that everyone fell in love with before the big renovations. Initially, the track was almost 8 kilometers long, but after the safety reforms, when F1 shifted to Jacarepagu? for nine seasons, it was shortened to 4.3km (2.6 miles). Since 1990, when F1 returned to Interlagos, it?s stayed the same.

Before 1990, Interlagos was a clockwise track, a layout that drivers are more accustomed to. But after 1990, it became a counter-clockwise circuit, making the short circuit?where time to rest is almost nonexistent?even more challenging. As much as it is a challenge, it?s also a pleasure to drive. The pit straight has an upward incline that transitions into the iconic Senna S (Turns 1 and 2). The longest straight of the track (the Reta Oposta) is between Turns 3 and 4 (Descida do Lago). As a driver closes in to Turn 6, that?s where the trickiest part of the circuit starts. A series of slow-speed corners, Turns 6 and 7 lead into one the most difficult corners on the track?Turn 8 (Little Orange). The slow-speed section continues till the left-handed Turn 11, after which a short straight leads into a hard left. Turn 12 to 15 is usually done at full throttle, following which the trip through the dramatic elevation changes of Interlagos starts again.

To add to the dramatics of the track, the weather conditions are quite unpredictable. Through the years, the changing conditions have made for exciting sessions like qualifying in 2022, which saw Magnussen take pole. Back at the Singapore GP, when Verstappen qualified in P11, he said Marina Bay isn?t a track where overtaking is possible. He did say Spa-Francorchamps is a circuit where he could win from the back of the grid. Well, Interlagos is like that, too! Lewis Hamilton demonstrated how fighting through the field in 2021 is possible.

The best place to watch the race? The Grandstand at the banked Turn 15 is a lovely place to watch cars go through the twisty second sector and accelerate through the final corners. The Grandstand at Turn 1 overlooks the Senna S?the best overtaking spot on the track. This year, just like 2021 and 2022, is also a Sprint weekend. The new format changes mean twice the qualifying sessions and twice the racing action. So, wherever you decide to tune in from or experience the electric atmosphere live, the Brazilian GP will be one to watch!
<h2 style="text-align: center">Where to watch?</h2>
In the US, all F1 races this season will be broadcast live on TV by ESPNews, ESPN2, ESPN+, or ABC.?

If you?re tuning in from The Netherlands, hoping for a repeat of 2019 for Max Verstappen, Viaplay and Viaplay Xtra will stream all the live action. If you?re not one of the spectators and Intergalos and want to catch all the live action from the comfort of your home, Bandeirantes and Bandsports will keep you company. In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports and Channel 4 will keep you updated. Sky Sports? Italian and German divisions, Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland, are in charge in Italy and Germany. France can catch all the action on Canal+, Austria on Servus TV, Africa on SuperSport, and Canada on RDS.

In India (and everywhere else), F1TV will provide all the live-action, analysis, and Tech Talks.?

Lewis Hamilton demonstrated how fighting through the field in 2021 is possible.

History

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.
