Formula One will continue to race at ​Sao Paulo’s Interlagos circuit through to 2035 ‌after announcing a five-year contract ​extension on Saturday.

The existing contract, ⁠under an extension agreed in 2023, was due to run until 2030.

Interlagos, officially ‌named the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace after Brazil’s 1975 race ‌winner, first hosted a world ‌championship ⁠grand prix in 1973. It ⁠is currently the only South American round of the championship.

The atmospheric circuit has witnessed ​some major milestones ‌in the sport’s history, including the late triple champion Ayrton Senna’s emotional home win in 1991, Kimi ‌Raikkonen winning the 2007 title ​for Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton’s first with McLaren in 2008.

“The passion of our Brazilian ‌fans is extraordinary, and every time we ​return to Interlagos, we feel their energy in the grandstands ⁠and in the city of São Paulo.”

Formula ⁠One said the new contract involved “significant investments” by the office ‌of the mayor of São Paulo, Ricardo Nunes, to improve the ​fan experience.
