Sao PauloGrand Prix

Interlagos in Sao Paulo has played host to some of Formula One’s most dramatic moments. Thrilling title-deciders, charges through the field and chaotic races in changeable conditions have all kept fans on the edge of their seat whenever the F1 fraternity rolls into town.

In recent years the link between Mercedes and Brasil has become ever more special. Lewis’ unforgettable comeback drive through the field to victory following two grid penalties in 2021 struck a chord with the home fans like no other on the grid – a truly unbreakable bond, made even more poignant in the birth city of Lewis’ racing hero Aryton Senna.

The love-affair continued in 2022 as Lewis was made an honorary citizen of the country in Parliament in the days leading up to the race and for the second year in a row we left Brasil in carnival mood after celebrating George’s first win in Formula One, the first race winner for our Team to have come through our Junior Driver programme.
