Formula 1’s extension
The extension kept the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos through 2035. Formula 1, the city of Sao Paulo and Interlagos promoters agreed to the deal, which preserved the race at the circuit and continued the series’ relationship with the city.
The long-term extension was intended to give authorities stability while they continued upgrading Interlagos. The event was officially known as the Sao Paulo Grand Prix because of the city council’s financial contribution, linking the race’s name to the city’s support.
The agreement also preserved the partnership among Formula 1, the city and Interlagos promoters. With the contract extended, the race remained secured at the circuit through 2035.
Interlagos stays
Interlagos remained the setting for the Sao Paulo race under the extension. The agreement preserved the event’s location while officials continued work on upgrades to the circuit.
The deal provided the stability described for authorities responsible for Interlagos’ future. It allowed the upgrade work to continue with the race secured through 2035.
The city council’s financial contribution remained part of the event’s official identity. That arrangement linked the race’s Sao Paulo name with the city’s role in supporting it.
Sao Paulo impact
Stefano Domenicali, Ricardo Nunes and Alan Adler said the extension reflected the race’s importance to Brazilian motorsport, tourism and Sao Paulo’s international profile. Their comments highlighted the event’s value to the city and the championship.
The 2025 race drew 303,627 attendees and generated R$2.3 billion for Sao Paulo. Those figures illustrated the event’s economic and sporting significance to the city.
Those results helped explain why the extension mattered to the parties involved. Formula 1 kept the race at Interlagos through 2035, while Sao Paulo retained an event associated with the city’s financial support and international profile.
