Sao Paulo Grand Prix has signed a five-year contract extension on the F1 calendar until 2035.
The race was initially contracted until 2030 but has now signed a five-year contract extension to remain until the end of the 2035 season.
F1 President and CEO, Stefano Domenicali has welcomed the extension given Brazil’s presence on the calendar with Rafael Camara currently in the middle of his maiden F1 weekend at his home event for Haas after Esteban Ocon’s sacking.
“Brazil is an important part of Formula 1’s history and our future, and I am delighted that this five-year extension will see us continue racing in Sao Paulo until 2035.
“The passion of our Brazilian fans is extraordinary, and every time we return to Interlagos we feel their energy in the grandstands and in the city of Sao Paulo.
“Brazil has produced an incredible 33 Formula 1 drivers, including Gabriel Bortoleto and Rafael Camara who are racing this weekend in front of their home crowd, which will add to the many previous unforgettable racing moments in Sao Paulo.
“The continued success and excitement surrounding the event shows why it holds such a special place on our calendar, and this agreement underlines our long-term commitment to Brazil.
“I would like to thank the Mayor of Sao Paulo, Nunes, and the President and CEO of Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Alan Adler, for their continued commitment and investment. Together, we will build on this success and make the experience even better for our fans in the years ahead.”
