Stateside motorsport maniacs have one more chance to see the F1 stars in their stunning cars, when they return later this month for the Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 22). We’re now heading into the finishing straight, with only four races left until the chequered flag flutters for the final time in 2025. This weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix is the 21st race of what’s been a stellar F1 season to date. There’s still plenty to play/drive for, so we’re set for another nail-biting edge-of-your-seat experience. Check out how you can view all the remaining action this year, including every single session (practice, sprint qualifying, sprint race, qualifying, and grand prix).
Just 36 points now separate Max Verstappen in third and Lando Norris in first. The scrap for supremacy within the McLaren ranks intensified further in Mexico City. Lando Norris returned to the top of the drivers’ standings for the first time since April, after he cruised to a 30-second victory at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, and Oscar Piastri finished well down the field again. It was Norris’ first triumph since taking the honours in Hungary at the start of August, and it meant he leapfrogged his teammate by a single point.
The McLarens haven’t had it all their own way of late, though, as a resurgent Max Verstappen remains focused on chasing down the runaway duo. The Red Bull star recorded his sixth straight podium finish in Mexico and arrives at Interlagos in a positive mood, as he goes in search of a third successive win at the Brazilian track.
Of the current crop of drivers, Verstappen is level with Lewis Hamilton on three victories apiece in Sao Paulo. They both remain three wins adrift of the great Alain Pros,t though, who sprayed the champers on six occasions in Brazil between 1982-1990. However, five of his six successes did come during the years when the Grand Prix was held at Jacarepagua in Rio de Janeiro. Interlagos itself has been hosting F1 Championship races for more than 50 years and is always one of the highlights on the motor sports calendar.

Brazil has produced numerous F1 heroes over the years, such as Emerson Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet, Rubens Barrichello, Felipe Massa, and who can forget the legendary Ayrton Senna. Kick Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto is the only current Brazilian driver on the 2025 grid, but the former F2 & F3 champion will have high hopes of future progression and is guaranteed plenty of vocal support in Sao Paulo, where he was born and raised.
Interlagos stages a sprint weekend once again, the penultimate one of the 2025 season. These unique weekends help ensure there are competitive track sessions for fans attending the event and watching on TV on all three days of the race weekend. To further add to the spectators’ excitement, there will be live music and performances throughout the weekend for the first time at the Brazil Grand Prix. On Friday, Jorge Aragao, an influential samba performer, takes to the stage. The party atmosphere continues on Saturday, with Brazilian DJ Alok playing a medley of his best hits. The curtain falls on Sunday with a vibrant performance from SIBC (Samba Independente dos Bons Costumes), a Rio-based group known for its energetic shows.
Let GOAL give you all the important information you need ahead of the Brazil Grand Prix, including the full weekend schedule of events and how you can watch and stream all the action live.

The 2025 Brazil Grand Prix will take place on Sunday, November 9. The race is held at the Interlagos circuit (also known as the Autodromo José Carlos Pace) in São Paulo. Interlagos has held motor racing events since 1940, but it didn’t begin staging a regular round of the F1 world championship until 1973. The first three F1 races held were won by Brazilian drivers, Emerson Fittipaldi (1973 & 1974) and Carlos Pace (1975), which further heightened interest in the event in the country. The current track is 4.309 km (2.677 miles) long, and the lap record is held by Valtteri Bottas, who clocked 1:10.540 in his Mercedes back in 2018.
