F1: the Brazilian Grand Prix live

F1 the Brazilian Grand Prix live

The 21st Grand Prix of the season takes place this Sunday in Brazil on the famous Interlagos circuit.

After the United States and Mexico, Brazil welcomes the drivers for a third Grand Prix in three weeks. The last two races did not allow Max Verstappen to increase his lead in the world championship over Lando Norris, on the contrary the Dutchman even lost a few points. Third in Austin and sixth in Mexico, when the Briton took fourth and second places respectively, the three-time world champion saw the gap separating him from Norris narrow to 47 points.

The Brazilian Grand Prix, 21st of the 24 rounds on the 2024 calendar, takes place on the famous Interlagos circuit. With its long straight lines and its large curves, the track, which offers a significant difference in altitude, plays into the hands of the fastest single-seaters, which could serve the purposes of the McLarens, or even the Ferraris, which are more punchy, than the Red Bulls since the beginning of summer. To find out which driver and which team will do best on Sunday, tune in from 6 p.m. when the 20 drivers will set off for 71 laps of a race that we hope will be spectacular.

14:24 – Verstappen, a drought of more than 4 months

After winning seven of the first ten Grands Prix of the season, Max Verstappen did not win a single one of the next ten. A drought of more than four months, his last success dates back to the Spanish Grand Prix contested in Barcelona where, starting in second position on the starting grid, he finished ahead of the British Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton on June 23, 2024.

1:35 p.m. – Three drivers on the grid have already won at Interlagos

There are three drivers present this Sunday on the starting grid who have already won the Brazilian Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) has won three times on the Interlagos circuit (2016, 2018, 2021). His teammate George Russell won at the wheel of his Silver Arrow in 2022 while Max Verstappen, winner last year, was already the fastest in 2019 with his Red Bull.

12:46 – Verstappen winner in 2023

Max Verstappen won at Interlagos last year after a race where only Lando Norris had somewhat upset his supremacy. The Dutchman crossed the finish line eight seconds before the Briton while Fernando Alonso, shown on the podium at the wheel of his Aston Martin, finished more than 34 seconds behind, just ahead of Sergio Perez.

12:08 – Brazil before a 3-week break

The Formula 1 world championship makes a stop in Brazil where the 21st of the 24 Grands Prix of the season will be contested this Sunday. This race at Interlagos follows those in the United States and Mexico held the two previous weekends. We will then have to wait three weeks before seeing the paddock settle down in Las Vegas (11/23) before continuing with Doha (12/01) and Abu Dhabi (12/08).
