São Paulo Grand Prix contract extended to 2035

Formula 1 has confirmed that the São Paulo Grand Prix will remain on the calendar through to 2035 inclusive, following a five-year extension to its existing agreement. The race takes place at Interlagos, a 4.309-kilometre circuit that has hosted six Drivers' World Championship deciders and where five Brazilian drivers have won their home Grand Prix.

Formula 1 also highlighted the event's economic significance for São Paulo. The championship said the 2025 race generated an estimated R$2.3 billion in economic impact for the city, a 9.7% increase on the previous record set in 2024. Attendance rose to 303,627 spectators from 291,717 the year before, an increase of almost 4.1%.

The benefits extend beyond the circuit to hotels, restaurants, retail, transport and tourism across the city, with the global television exposure of Formula 1 also cited as an opportunity for São Paulo's international profile.
