It is said and done. After a big mess that lasted for more than a year, the Government of São Paulo confirmed, on Thursday afternoon (12), the agreement with Formula 1 for the maintenance of the Brazilian GP in Interlagos for the next five years .
Take a look at the Grand Prix channel on YouTube.
Follow the Grand Prix on Twitter and on Instagram.
The announcement was made by Governor João Doria during a press conference. As noted in the first version of the 2021 season calendar released by F1 this week, the race will take place on the weekend of November 12-14. Exactly one year from now.
“I am proud to reveal, with [prefeito de São Paulo] Bruno Covas, that Formula 1 has just renewed its contract for the F1 Brazilian GP until 2025, ”said Doria. “The contract will be signed by Mayor Covas with Liberty Media,” he said.
“It is a great victory for the city of São Paulo, for the state and for Brazil. It is the victory of common sense and balance ”, he argued.
Mayor Covas said the event will no longer be called GP do Brasil and will become GP de São Paulo, although this information has not yet been confirmed by Liberty Media.
The announcement ends the discussions that came to treat Interlagos as a card outside of the Brazilian GP at one point. Part of an initiative that aimed to force the Deodoro racetrack project, including direct lobbying from CEO Chase Carey, in a letter addressed to the interim governor of Rio de Janeiro, Cláudio Castro.

<p>In the lobby letter, Carey confirmed what the Rio Motorsports consortium had said shortly before: the group, which came from scratch to receive the rights to build a race track on the site of the last Mata Atlântica in Rio de Janeiro, you will now have the rights to run a race. But that was conditional on the project’s environmental releases. What did not happen, after a totally negative opinion of the INEA – State Institute of the Environment.</p>
<p>Rio Motorsports was then given the possibility to acquire the television rights to F1 in Brazil from 2021, but would have 45 days to demonstrate that it had the financial conditions to do so. He did not, because he never had the financial conditions for anything like that. And he ended up blaming, in a laughable way, “uncertainties related to Covid-19 in Europe.” </p>
<p>At the GP at 10 this morning [destacado no começo da matéria], Victor Martins and Flavio Gomes spoke about the fall of Rio Motorsports and the return of Globo in the conversation about television rights.</p>
<p>With the end of the sequence this 2020 season, when the event was canceled due to the new coronavirus pandemic, the Brazilian GP has been held uninterruptedly at Interlagos since 1990. Before that, it was on the circuit between 1972-1977 and 1979-1980. In total, there are 38 editions of the Brazilian GP in Interlagos, of which 37 were valid for the championship score.</p>
