Formula 1 has confirmed that the Brazilian Grand Prix will remain part of its calendar until 2035, thanks to a recently signed five-year agreement. This agreement, officially named the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, underscores the collaboration between the Sao Paulo city hall and the race organizers.
The previous contract had already been renewed last year, but the management of Formula 1 has expressed the desire to more permanently stabilize its presence in key markets like Brazil. This will allow for continued improvements to the facilities at the José Carlos Pace Autodrome, which have aged over time.
The president and CEO of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali, commented on the importance of Brazil in the championship’s history, highlighting the energy and passion that Brazilian fans bring to the races. This renewal represents a long-term commitment to the country and the promise of continuing to enhance the experience for all spectators.
The mayor of Sao Paulo, Ricardo Nunes, highlighted the economic benefits derived from this event for the city, reiterating that the Grand Prix boosts the local economy, creates jobs, fosters tourism, and enhances the city’s international image.
According to the organizers, the last edition of the event attracted 303,000 spectators, generating an economic impact of R$2.3 million. The CEO of the event, Alan Adler, has expressed gratitude to all those involved in modernizing the infrastructure and consolidating this agreement that guarantees the continuity of the Grand Prix until 2035.
Additionally, the 2026 race will be special, as it will feature two Brazilian drivers: Gabriel Bortoleto from the Audi team and rookie Rafael Camara with Haas, a fact that will increase excitement among the local audience.
