In a decisive move that will shape the future of the Formula 1 calendar, the FIA and Formula 1 have announced a new five‑year extension for the Brazilian Grand Prix, keeping the event on the schedule through 2035. The decision, confirmed by the official Formula One World Championship Limited and echoed by India’s The Tribune, follows a long‑standing partnership between the sport and the Circuito de Interlagos in São Paulo.

The extension comes as part of F1’s broader strategy to secure marquee races in key markets. Interlagos, known for its passionate crowds and unpredictable weather, has been a staple of the calendar since 1990, and the new deal guarantees that fans in Brazil and across the globe will continue to witness the drama of the race weekend. The agreement also includes investment clauses that will see the circuit upgraded to meet the latest safety and hospitality standards, ensuring a world‑class experience for both drivers and spectators.

For Indian fans, the news means that the Brazilian Grand Prix will remain a highlight of the season, with the race typically taking place in late March or early April. In India, the event will be broadcast live on FanCode, with the start time scheduled at 7:00 PM IST, allowing viewers to catch the action in real time. The extended partnership also opens the door for more fan engagement initiatives, such as virtual reality experiences and exclusive behind‑the‑scenes content, which are already being explored by the F1 media team.

Looking ahead, the extension reinforces F1’s commitment to global growth while respecting the heritage of its long‑running venues. The Brazilian Grand Prix has historically been a proving ground for emerging talent and a showcase for technological innovation, and its continued presence on the calendar is expected to keep the sport vibrant and competitive. For India, the assurance that the race will stay on the calendar through 2035 adds another layer of excitement for fans who have watched the Brazilian spectacle from their living rooms for decades.
