F1 Brazilian Grand Prix 2023: Start time UK, sprint schedule, weather forecast and how to watch on TV

Marc Mayo1 minute ago

The F1 roadshow rolls into Sao Paulo this weekend for one of the fan favourites on the calendar, the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Interlagos is a rare venue for providing both the history and the thrills that should add some spice to the final weeks of the 2023 season.

Max Verstappen romped from third on the grid to victory last time out as Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez's first-lap crash saw him continue to struggle amid big pressure on his shoulders.

Second place in the championship is very much up for grabs with Lewis Hamilton enjoying a solid finish to the season. After a podium in Mexico, he's only 20 points behind Perez.

This grand prix also brings us the final sprint race of the year.
