Formula 1 heads to São Paulo this weekend for the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos. The race is on Sunday 8 November, with the start scheduled for 17:00 GMT. That is 18:00 in central Europe and 14:00 in São Paulo.
It is a good one for expats to plan around: no middle-of-the-night alarm for viewers in Europe, and a Sunday afternoon race for people in Brazil. The circuit is known as Interlagos, though the event is officially the São Paulo Grand Prix.
The weekend at a glance
- Friday 6 November: practice sessions at Interlagos.
- Saturday 7 November: final practice and qualifying.
- Sunday 8 November: Grand Prix, scheduled for 17:00 GMT (18:00 CET; 14:00 in São Paulo).
Times can shift if the weather or race control intervenes, so check the broadcaster’s schedule before lights out. Interlagos has a compact lap, elevation changes and the famous Senna S at the start of the lap. If rain arrives, the weekend can change quickly.
Watching from another country
