Formula 1<\/a> arrives in Brazil for one of the sport’s favorite events at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos.<\/p>\n

Located between two artificial lakes, Interlagos has thrown up spectacular races both in the dry and the wet over the years, with the weather unpredictable more often than not.<\/p>\n

After a masterclass in Mexico last time out, Lando Norris now leads McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri by a single point in the race for the Formula 1 drivers’ championship. However, Max Verstappen remains a danger for Red Bull and often performs well here, winning the past two runnings.<\/p>\n

Who will emerge victorious this time around? Here’s all the information you need about Interlagos.<\/p>\n

Interlagos Corners\"Interlagos<\/p>\n

Interlagos Track | IMAGO \/ Dreamstine<\/p>\n

Senna S – Hard on the brakes for a left-hander down the hill which flicks back to the right. Heavily cambered and an overtaking chance.Curva do Sol – On the throttle and back to the left to set up the DRS zone on the Reta Oposta.
Descida do Lago – A double-left, with brakes applied for the first apex and the throttle applied to wind up ready to travel back up the hill.
Ferradura\/Laranjinha – Taken with a small lift before the track tightens for a second apex at this tricky double-right.
Turn 8 – Brakes go on for a tight hairpin that takes cars back downhill.
Pinheirinho – Frustrating for drivers with patience rewarded. A 180-degree left-hander that begins downhill but goes uphill on exit.
Bico de Pato – Tough with braking, beginning with the steering lock applied through a right-hand kink. This hairpin turns back down the hill.
Mergulho – Fast with full-throttle applied as the car sweeps downhill to the left.
Juncao – Technical left-hander with traction critical up the hill on exit. The last corner of note in the dry.
Turn 13\/Subida dos Boxes\/Arquibancadas – Three left-hand kinks up the hill and onto the start-finish straight where DRS is enabled. No trouble in the dry, but devious in the wet.<\/p>\n
