Sao Paulo Grand Prix 2023 start time: F1 race, qualifying and practice schedule
Your complete guide to the Sao Paulo Grand Prix 2023 start time, plus full TV schedule for the race weekend.
Formula 1 continues its tour of the Americas with a stop in Brazil for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix and a blitz around a circuit steeped in history.
Interlagos is routinely the scene of world driver championship-winning drives, controversy and drama. The title may be safely locked down by Max Verstappen, but the battle beyond him rages on.
Verstappen cruised to victory in the Mexico City Grand Prix last weekend with barely an appearance on TV screens during the race, such was the comfort of his victory, though plenty of attention was directed to his Red Bull teammate on home soil.
Sergio Perez suffered a nightmare homecoming as he crashed out of the race on Lap 1, Turn 1. The result not only left thousands of fans disappointed in the stands, but it has ratcheted up the pressure on the battle for second place.
Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton punched in an impressive drive to secure second-place on the day in Mexico, and is now within striking distance of Perez in the driver standings with three races to overturn a 20-point deficit to claim the runners-up spot.
