Interlagos has locked down its spot on the F1 calendar through 2035 after Formula 1 announced a five-year extension on Saturday of the Brazilian GP weekend. The deal pushes Brazil's previous 2030 expiration out another half-decade, cementing the Sao Paulo circuit's run that dates back to 1990 as the country's exclusive F1 venue.
The numbers justify the commitment: 5.8 million Brazilian fans (up 6.5% year-over-year), 303,000 through the gates last year, and a demographic split that skews young and nearly half-female. Stefano Domenicali leaned on the usual talking points — "passion," "energy," "extraordinary" — but the extension speaks louder.
