F1 travels to its 19th round of the 2021 season at the Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo, Brazil with the weekend featuring two practice sessions on two separate days. The 2021 Brazil Grand Prix will be the second round of the overseas triple headers, commencing from the November 12-14 weekend.
The Brazilian GP weekend will have an additional sprint race. It will also have one less practice session, featuring only two instead of the three held every weekend. The sprint race will be contested over half of the race distance of the main race, which is 71 laps across the 4.309 km Autódromo José Carlos Pace circuit.
The weekend promises to bring excitement as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen go head to head. With Valtteri Bottas out of title contention as of Mexican Grand Prix, it's a straight shootout between the seven-time world champion and the Dutch phenom.
