#4 Autódromo José Carlos Pace, Sau Paulo, Brazil
At no.4 is Autódromo José Carlos Pace at Sau Paulo, Brazil. When you talk about tracks with history, heritage and prestige then Brazil always ranks high up amongst them. The track at Sau Paulo was made famous and came into prominence when Ayrton Senna was around and it used to be his home race and ever since, the track has been a common fixture on the calendar.
With it being one of the few tracks that are situated at a very high altitude means that the engine performance can sometimes not be as big a variable as it usually is. The track has such history attached to it that it is always close to everyone's heart when it comes to racing here.
Iconic moments like Schumacher's last race with Ferrari in 2006 or Felipe Massa losing the title on the very last corner of the last lap of the season in 2008 or Fernando Alonso's shocked expression at losing out in the championship battle to Sebastian Vettel in 2012 really make this race a spectacle and one of the must-visit Grand Prix on the calendar.
