## Key points

- Interlagos will host Formula One through 2035.
- São Paulo’s race is the championship’s only South American round.
- The mayor estimates this week’s event will generate 2.3 billion reais in local activity.

## Summary

Formula One will keep the São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos until 2035 after agreeing a five-year contract extension, taking the race beyond its previous 2030 end date. The deal secures the championship’s only South American round and continues a long-running event at a circuit known for defining moments in the sport.

Interlagos first hosted a world championship race in 1973 and has staged landmark wins by Ayrton Senna, Kimi Räikkönen and Lewis Hamilton. São Paulo says the race brings substantial economic activity: the mayor estimated this week’s event would move about 2.3 billion reais, or US$417.78 million, through the local economy. The city plans significant investments to improve the fan experience, and tickets sold out despite capacity rising by 7,000 seats.
