The Brazil Grand Prix Formula 1 takes place since 1972 and is part of the Formula 1 championship since 1973. It happens every year at the Interlagos circuit (or Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace), located in the neighborhood namesake of the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo.
The circuit as well as Marina Bay Street Circuit Singapore and Istanbul Park is one of the few circuits on the F1 calendar now to have a counter-clockwise.
The Brazil Grand Prix Formula 1 in 2007 was the most watched international sporting event in the world, second only to the Super Bowl in the United States, but how it is over 90% of the audience from the United States does not is recognized as an international event.
In 2008, for the third time in history and the first with a Brazilian, a pilot has the opportunity to decide the title at home. Felipe Massa steered his Ferrari into the title that was guaranteed until the final seconds, when Lewis Hamilton passed German Timo Glock and thus became the youngest champion. For ten times the Brazil Grand Prix was won by a Brazilian driver, three of them won by Emerson Fittipaldi, and remains the Brazilian driver won the most in Brazil.
