Fifty-two editions at two circuits: forty-two at Interlagos, in São Paulo, and ten at Jacarepaguá, in Rio de Janeiro, between 1978 and 1989. Since 2021 it is called the São Paulo Grand Prix, and here it counts as the same race.
Alain Prost won it six times, the record. And it is one of the Grands Prix where winning from the back happens most: thirteen winners started behind third place, the latest Max Verstappen in 2024, from seventeenth.
The next edition is on 8 November 2026, at Interlagos. On the Saturday, with the official grid, we publish the preview with every driver's odds.
Where it has been held
- Autódromo José Carlos Pace: 42 editions (1973-2025)
- Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet: 10 editions (1978-1989)

The teams
The bar is wins. Points are each era's points added as they were, so they favour whoever raced under the current system (25 for a win since 2010). Fastest laps are only counted from 2004.

Where it is won from
In our simulator this is the 20th of 30 circuits where the starting position matters most. It comes from the real races from 2014 to 2025: at each circuit we measure how closely the finishing order matches the starting order among the cars that finish, and the engine is tuned to reproduce it.
