I wish I had more of Max's
By Jonathan McEvoy
Rain at Interlagos is unpredictable. One corner of the 2.67-mile circuit can feel scorching dry while torrential rain drenches another. The track remains one of Formula One’s most thrilling arenas, alive with tension and anticipation.
Reaching the circuit means driving along roads edged by favelas, sometimes to the unsettling sound of distant gunfire. Once inside, the venue becomes a vibrant amphitheatre filled with an energetic, devoted crowd of Brazilian fans.
You can never tell when—or where—the rain will fall.
Occasionally it's just a few drops on sunlit asphalt, setting the stage for unpredictable drama. As the Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend begins, Lando Norris leads his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri by one point and Red Bull’s defending champion Max Verstappen by 36. With four races left, 114 points remain in play—enough to shape the destiny of this year's world title.
