Brazilian GP at Interlagos Runs Nov. 7–9 as Colapinto Targets Openings in Sprint Format

Limited practice under the sprint format may test Alpine as variable weather looms.

Overview

  • Organizers confirm no parking at Interlagos and urge public transit, with the GP São Paulo Express and Line 9–Esmeralda listed as primary access routes.
  • The official schedule sets Practice 1 and Sprint qualifying for Friday, the Sprint and qualifying for Saturday, and the Grand Prix on Sunday at 14:00.
  • The Fan Zone program features concerts by Seu Jorge, Matheus & Kauan, and Thiaguinho, plus Driver's Engagement sessions with Laurent Mekies, Ayao Komatsu, and Paul Aron, and the new 2025 segment Papo de Grid.
  • Franco Colapinto says he is excited to race before strong Argentine support, though Alpine arrives with a slower 2025 car despite its double podium at Interlagos last year.
  • Forecasts indicate a chance of rain throughout the weekend, and Colapinto’s camp views wet conditions as a possible equalizer on a sprint-format weekend with limited setup time.
