SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazilian Felipe Massa was excluded from his home Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday after his Williams car was found to have an overheated rear tyre before the start. The former race winner had finished in eighth place at Interlagos. Checks on the grid before the start revealed that his right-rear tyre tread was 27 degrees celsius above the maximum temperature allowed by Pirelli. Massa’s exclusion promoted Lotus’s Romain Grosjean to eighth, with Toro Rosso’s Max Verstappen moving up to ninth and Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado taking the final point for Lotus. Williams said they would appeal against the penalty. (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by Ian Chadband)

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

<i><span style="font-weight: 400">?Is that Glock? Is that Glock going slowly??</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> 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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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!</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Most Winners</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The most successful driver in Interlagos is Michael Schumacher, who?s won at the circuit four times!</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brazilian Grand Prix Circuit Details?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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!</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Where to watch?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">In the US, all F1 races this season will be broadcast live on TV by ESPNews, ESPN2, ESPN+, or ABC.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In India (and everywhere else), F1TV will provide all the live-action, analysis, and Tech Talks.?</span>

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. Formula One F1 &#8211; Brazilian Grand Prix &#8211; Jose Carlos Pace Circuit, Sao Paulo, Brazil &#8211; November 14, 2021 Mercedes&#8217; Lewis Hamilton celebrates winning the race REUTERS/Ricardo Moraes 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! Where to watch? 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.? Brazilian Grand Prix Tickets Tickets for the Brazilian GP are available on the Official Formula 1 website as well as on the F1 Experiences website. You can choose from a range of tickets, varying from Grounds Passes and Reserved Seats to Premium Hospitality.?

<h2>Williams: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</h2>
Williams F1 is another team that has a lot of history in Formula One. The origins of the team can be traced back to 1977. What?s different about this team is that it has always been a family-run team.

The founder of the team is Sir Frank Williams, who functioned in the capacity of the Team Principal for quite some time. His daughter, Claire Williams, succeeded him as the Deputy Team Principal before stepping down from her role in 2020.

Following a dismal campaign in 2019 and a major financial crunch in 2020, the team put up a majority stake of the team for sale. In August, a private American firm, Dorilton Capital, acquired the team.

Following the team's sale, Claire announced her departure from F1 along with her father. For a team that's been family owned for well over 4 decades, it truly was the end of an era.

In its long and storied history, Williams has produced 7 World Champions. They are Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nigel-mansell/">Nigel Mansell</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alain-prost/">Alain Prost</a>, Damon Hill, and Jacques Villeneuve.

George Russell and Nicholas Latifi currently drive for the Grove-based. The team will be retaining both their drivers' services for the next season.
<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
In their inaugural year in 1977, they did not enjoy a great start. However, in 1978, Alan Jones brought forth their first tally of points with a 4th placed finish in South Africa. He followed it up later in the season with a 2nd in the USA.

In 1979, Williams entered two cars, with Clay Regazzoni partnering Jones. Regazzoni bagged the first win in Great Britain before Jones followed that feat up with three back-to-back wins in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. He took another win in Canada, with Regazzoni in 3rd.

In 1980 and 1981, Jones clinched the World Constructors' Championship for Williams F1. They did it again in 1986 and 1987 with Nelson Piquet winning the Drivers' Championship.

From 1992 to 1994, the British outfit sealed the Constructors' championship again. They took their final Constructors' titles in 1996 and 1997.

Sadly, the team is yet to replicate its once feared win streak in Formula 1. Over two decades on, Williams is a shell of its former self. The British team is in a constant battle to score some points.

So far this season, the team has been unsuccessful.

<strong>History</strong>

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.

Hamilton and Mercedes are the defending Champions with the pair's dominance unlikely to end anytime soon.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He?spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights.

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.

The Formula One world championship is considered by many to be the pinnacle of motorsport. It has produced champions like Fangio, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ayrton-senna/">Ayrton Senna</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alain-prost/">Alain Prost</a>, Schumacher, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/">Fernando Alonso</a>, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, Sebastian Vettel and many many more.

Formula One

History The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy&#8217;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 Michael Schumacher with 7 under his belt. However, Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher&#8217;s record at the end of the season.

Pool via REUTERS/Yuri Kochetkov Hamilton and Mercedes are the defending Champions with the pair&#8217;s dominance unlikely to end anytime soon. For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He?spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights. 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 &#8216;liberty era&#8217; 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. The Formula One world championship is considered by many to be the pinnacle of motorsport. It has produced champions like Fangio, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, Sebastian Vettel and many many more.

<strong>Romain Grosjean 2021:</strong><strong> Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong>

French F1 driver, Romain Grosjean has had two stints in Formula One. He made his debut in 2009 for Renault after the Crashgate controversy saw <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Piquet_Jr.">Nelson Piquet Jr</a> lose his seat. Going up against a driver of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/">Fernando Alonso</a>'s calibre could not be easy and his statistics were underwhelming.

He stepped away from the sport for two years before being recalled by the Lotus F1 team. He stayed with Lotus for four years before joining newcomers <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/haas/">Haas</a> in 2016.

<strong>On-track Achievements</strong>

After a disappointing run in 2009, his fortunes changed for the better from 2012 onwards. A maiden point-scoring finish in China was followed by a maiden podium in Bahrain. Grosjean went on to take two mode podiums in Canada and Hungary.

However, he earned himself a reputation for being a 'first lap nutcase', as Mark Webber put it. The 2012 Belgian GP was proof of the pudding when he instigated a massive pile-up. As a result he was slapped with a one-race ban.

2013 was a slightly better season as the Frenchman racked up six podiums that year. Since then, he has only mustered one more podium, at the 2015 Belgian GP with 3rd place.

After joining Haas, he has had up and down results and finished the championship in 13th twice. In 2018, he ended the season in 14th place. It was a shame because Haas had demonstrated that they had a strong car.

However, silly mistakes and other teams stepping up their game, cost Haas dearly.A year later, Haas F1 had not moved up the order, and their drivers' performances did not help.
