Famous as the home of Senna and a country that’s mad about motorsport, the São Paulo Grand Prix, formerly known as the Brazilian Grand Prix, traces its origins back to 1972. The legendary Interlagos Circuit in São Paulo is a mainstay of the Formula One® calendar and never fails to deliver drama. Additionally, this year there’s a Sprint race, which fans have been going wild for at other Grands Prix around the world.
It’s almost the end of another thrilling season, and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team is set to make its final push in Brazil before Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi round out the 2024 campaign.
Brazil is a vast country, so don’t miss the Iguazu Falls, gorgeous beaches, the Amazon rainforest, and the modernist capital of Brasília during your visit.
