🏎️ Circuit History

• Interlagos has hosted F1 since 1973 and is one of the most exciting circuits on the calendar.

• Famous for its high-altitude location (800m above sea level), unpredictable weather, and legendary races.

• Notable moments include Ayrton Senna’s emotional 1991 win and Lewis Hamilton’s last-lap championship win in 2008.

🔧 Strategic Insights

• Aerodynamics: Medium downforce setup to balance top speed on the straights and grip through twisty sections.

• Suspension: Soft setup to absorb bumps and curbs, critical in Senna ‘S’ and Ferradura corners.

• Tire Strategy: High degradation due to abrasive track surface and elevation changes—expect multi-stop strategies.

• Weather Considerations: Sudden rain showers can lead to rapid track evolution, affecting tire choices.

• DRS Zones: Two key DRS zones (main straight & back straight) make overtaking possible.
