If you like big cities, you’ll love Sao Paulo and the Brazilian Grand Prix. It’s big, it’s exciting and it’s becoming increasingly multi-cultural, thanks to its large number of émigrés. The famous shanty towns, or favellas, still dominate the suburbs, but the city’s reputation is very much on the up - as people who live there will tell you.
The city has many beautiful parts like the open spaces of central Sao Paulo: the Jardins, the parks, the area around the palace (now a museum) in the centre of town, and even the central business district.
The Interlagos track is 16 kilometres south of Sao Paulo’s city centre and provides the drivers and engineers with many challenges, not least because the track runs in an anti-clockwise direction and is at high altitude, which makes it tough for the engines. The atmosphere on race day is fantastic, with the fans almost tribal in their appreciation of Barrichello.
