WILLIAMS RACE DAY HOSPITALITY: Brazil F1 GP 2022

On 13th November 2022 we were at the Williams Experience Centre. This week was for the Brazil F1 GP Race Day Hospitality.

Interlagos was built in 1940, but didn’t begin hosting a regular round of the F1 world championship until 1973. The circuit is located in the Sao Paolo suburb of Interlagos, which literally translates in Portugese as ‘between the lakes’. Even though the circuit was renamed Autodromo José Carlos Pace in honor of Carlos Pace, a Sao Paolo local who won his only F1 race at the circuit in 1975 but died tragically in a light air crash in 1977, many still refer to it as Interlagos.

By the end of the 1970s, the original 7.96km Interlagos layout (with its bumpy track surface and insufficient safety barriers) was removed from the F1 calendar on safety grounds. Formula 1 found a new Brazilian home at the Jacarepaguá circuit in Rio de Janeiro, which held ten races between 1978-1989. After a significant renovation program, F1 returned to a safer, shorter (4.309km) Interlagos circuit in 1990. It has remained a constant calendar presence since then, holding some memorable and historic races, many rain affected.

The track was resurfaced in 2014 as part of a larger planned redevelopment, but this has not fully extended yet to facilities for fans, which are showing their age. Despite having a contract to hold the race until 2022, the circuit’s long-term future on the F1 calendar remains in doubt without this necessary investment, while the fact that Brazil is now without a driver in F1 certainly doesn’t help matters. The event’s reputation has also been impacted by security incidents at the 2017 Brazilian Grand Prix, when several teams were robbed at gunpoint as they were leaving Interlagos.

After a year off to the calendar in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Interlagos returned to the schedule in 2021. The event returned with a new name – the São Paulo Grand Prix.
