Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix 2023 Preview

The Interlagos route has seen dramatic moments in the sport since it first joined the F1 calendar in 1973, including a chaotic race in 2003, Lewis Hamilton’s first title on the final lap in 2008, the relegation of Sebastian Vettel in his 2012 championship or the rivalry between Hamilton and Max Verstappen in 2021.

Max Verstappen isn’t so much rewriting the record books as ripping them up completely and starting them from scratch. His astonishing 2023 season continues at Interlagos as the F1 circus heads to South America for the Brazilian G.P.

It’s the 2023 season’s sixth and final sprint weekend, so Friday’s qualifying session will determine Sunday’s grid positions, while there’ll be points on offer on Saturday for the fastest drivers. The action starts on Friday with the single practice session (10:30 a.m. ET / 2:30 p.m. GMT) and then into qualifying (2 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. GMT).

Key facts about the Brazilian GP

• For the Brazilian GP the Sprint format returns and it is the last one of the year. This means that there will be two days with important points for the championship.
• Ferrari and McLaren are alternating in the role of chasing Red Bull and Mercedes is the second team, and will try to add with both drivers to get closer to the German team.
• Ferrari is 22 points away from catching Mercedes in the constructors’ standings, so the pressure is also on Hamilton’s team-mate Russell to keep adding to his tally, as he is currently eighth.
• The Aston Martin debacle will see Alonso lose his fifth place to McLaren’s Norris, who is on the rise, but also has Leclerc, who seems to be improving in the latter part of the championship, close behind. Will the Spaniard drop to seventh?
• The weather forecast for the Brazilian Grand Prix suggests occasional showers, including thunderstorms, a factor that always adds interest to F1.
