Overview
- Formula 1 announced the multi‑year extension at a press briefing in Interlagos where F1 chief Stefano Domenicali, track CEO Alan Adler and São Paulo Mayor Ricardo Nunes spoke about the deal.
- The agreement replaces the prior hosting deal and keeps the São Paulo Grand Prix on the world championship calendar through 2035.
- F1 and race organizers presented economic estimates that the event generates about BRL 2.3 billion in local spending and sustains roughly 25,000 jobs in São Paulo.
- Organizers cited recent audience growth and changing spectator makeup — more than 300,000 attendees in 2025 with a larger share of women and younger fans — as key reasons the city is now a long‑term venue.
- Interlagos has hosted Brazil’s Grand Prix for decades, and the extension secures long‑term calendar stability while tying future races to planned public and private investments and increased tourism revenue.
