Six world championships have been decided at Interlagos, and the circuit keeps producing drama. Formula 1 first raced here in 1973. The track runs 4.309 kilometres, anti-clockwise, about 800 metres above sea level.<\/p>\n\n

In 1991, Ayrton Senna won his home race stuck in sixth gear, held off Riccardo Patrese in late rain, and was so exhausted he had to be lifted from his car. It is still the defining Interlagos story.<\/p>\n

Last year Lando Norris owned the weekend, winning from pole ahead of Kimi Antonelli, with Max Verstappen third from a pit lane start. Michael Schumacher owns the wins record here with four, Ferrari and McLaren are tied on nine team wins each, and the lap record of 1:10.540 by Valtteri Bottas from 2018 still stands.<\/p>\n

Our pick for Sunday was Max Verstappen, with Lewis Hamilton as the dark horse. Those are opinions, not results, and Interlagos has a long history of proving everyone wrong.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
