Formula One Sao Paulo Grand Prix 2021 What to Watch
Brazil's Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, also known as Interlagos to most fans, will host a Formula One race this weekend after missing 2020 due to travel restrictions relating to COVID-19.
The Sao Paulo circuit has played host to 37 Brazilian Grands Prix in the past, and the races are always thrilling. Drivers must frequently leave the racing line, and because of the circuit's small layout, there is typically a lot of overtaking.
Additionally, drivers are kept busy by the constant succession of turns. The majority of those turns are very short, so lateral loads on the tires aren't too taxing, with the exception of the lengthy uphill Arquibancada left-hander. C3 is the P Zero Yellow medium, C4 is the P Zero Red soft, and C2 is the P Zero White hard, according to Pirelli's nominations.
Some grooves have been carved in the asphalt to aid drainage in the event of heavy rain, as the weather in Brazil during this time of year can vary from extreme heat to torrential rain. According to the forecast as of this writing, Sao Paulo is currently experiencing rain, but conditions should clear up for Saturday's qualifying session and Sunday's race.
This year's final test of the new sprint race format for qualifying will take place in Brazil. Following a single practice session on Friday, the schedule calls for a standard time-based qualifying session to establish the starting grid for a 62-mile sprint race on Saturday. The starting grid for the full-length race on Sunday is then decided by the sprint race results. In the sprint race, three championship points are awarded for first place, two for second, and one for third.
Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing leads the 2021 Drivers' Championship with 312.5 points heading into the weekend. Mercedes-Benz AMG's reigning champion Lewis Hamilton is in second place with 293.5 points, while Bottas, another Mercedes driver, is in third place with 185 points. Mercedes leads the Constructors' Championship with 478.5 points, followed by Red Bull with 477.5 and Ferrari with 268.5. Verstappen, who drives for Red Bull, was the last Brazilian champion.
