F1 confirms Brazilian GP at Interlagos on 23-race calendar

F1 won a schedule for the 2021 season. The category confirmed on Tuesday (10), the schedule for next year with a total of 23 GPs, resuming normality after a championship badly damaged by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. And, of course, with news that matters to the Brazilian public: the Brazilian GP is still present, still in Interlagos, but is subject to the confirmation of a new contract. The scheduled date for the race is November 14, the eve of a holiday.

F1’s plan, except for new twists and turns with Covid-19, is to start 2021 in the usual way: with the Australian Grand Prix on March 21. Almost all races canceled in 2020 due to the return of the pandemic: the Dutch GP is scheduled for next season, while others such as the Monaco GP, Canada, France, the United States, Mexico, Singapore, China, Azerbaijan and the own GP. from Brazil they return after a year of absence.

However, the Vietnam GP, which was also canceled this year and due to be played next year on the streets of Hanoi on April 25, 15 days after the Chinese GP, lost its place. The FIA, however, has reserved the window for a destination yet to be confirmed, securing a schedule with 23 races.

The situation in the Asian country, however, has nothing to do with the pandemic, but with political and corruption problems. In theory, the schedule would have 22 events, but Liberty Media, keen to extend the schedule to ensure higher revenue after an unusual year, intends to fill the date with another location for the fourth GP in 2021.

In this way, the category will once again break the record for the longest calendar in history. The GP leading up to the unprecedented figure is Saudi Arabia, an evening event to be held on the streets of Jeddah, a recent controversial addition to the F1 circus. The Saudi race will be the penultimate of the championship and will take place on November 28, one week before the end of the championship, scheduled for December 5, in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates.

The Brazilian GP came to seem somewhat unlikely in 2021. F1 bet the chips on the Deodoro project, a racetrack in Rio de Janeiro whose works have not yet begun. Systematic delays in the Rio de Janeiro proposal led Liberty Media to come back and reconsider Interlagos. The expected date is November 14.

Brazil, in this condition, enters as an extra, based on the asterisk, since negotiations with São Paulo are still ongoing. At PADDOCK GP Last Monday, Victor Martins and Flavio Gomes brought the information that Formula 1 is negotiating a new five-year contract with São Paulo.

Another event in such conditions, marked with an asterisk and therefore subject to a new agreement with Formula 1, is the Spanish GP.

The fall of Formula 1 in relation to Rio de Janeiro came from Chase Carey himself, head of the category, who pointed out that his lobbying on Governor Cláudio Castro, through a letter, had no immediate effect. The F1 executive director had asked the government official to liberate the Camboatá forest area, in Deodoro, so that the works of the racecourse and the agreement with Rio Motorsports, by José Antonio Soares Pereira Jr., or JR Pereira could be carried out. , it had validity. The content of the letter was first revealed by journalist Américo Teixeira Jr., from Diário Motorsport, a partner of BIG PRIZE.

Another important point on the calendar is the change of date of the Dutch GP in relation to what is planned for 2020, at the beginning of May. The race at the renovated Zandvoort circuit would be doubled with the Spanish GP, but on the 2021 calendar it was scheduled for September 5, a week after the Belgian GP. The Dutch Grand Prix will be part of a series of three consecutive F1 races. In addition to the Belgian GP on August 29, the Italian GP closes the sequence on September 12.
