The five-year agreement keeps the race at São Paulo’s Interlagos circuit beyond the previous contract, which was due to expire in 2030.
Formula 1 announced on 7 November 2026, that it had extended the Brazilian Grand Prix contract at Interlagos for five years, covering the 2031–2035 races. The previous extension, agreed in 2023, had secured the race through 2030.
Interlagos first hosted a championship Grand Prix in 1973 and has been the Brazilian race’s exclusive venue since 1990, The Race said. Formula 1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said Brazil was important to the sport’s history and future and praised the extraordinary passion of Brazilian fans, while Grand Prix CEO Alan Adler called the extension a source of immense pride and said it recognized work built on dedication, investment and long-term planning.
Formula 1 says it has 5.8 million fans in Brazil, an increase of 6.5% from 2024 to 2025. It says 44% of those fans are women and 41% are under 35. São Paulo’s municipal government said 303,627 spectators attended the 2025 Grand Prix across the race weekend.
Formula 1 said the new contract includes significant investment by São Paulo’s mayoral office to improve the fan experience. The city government says it has already invested R$ 500 million in modernizing the circuit, including resurfacing the track, upgrading the pits, building a hospitality center and expanding grandstands.
China’s Liao Guifang won the women’s 86 kg title with a world-record 291 kg total and set a clean-and-jerk record of 163 kg. Armenia’s Emma Poghosyan finished eighth with 249 kg, a result that does not secure an Olympic quota place.
