48<\/b> – We will attend the 48th edition of the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend. F1 has visited Interlagos 37 times and Jacarepagua 10 times. Cancelled last year due to the health crisis, Brazil had always been present in the Formula 1 championship since 1973.<\/p>\n
4,309<\/b> – This Sunday, the drivers will have to cover these 4.309 kilometers 71 times, for a total distance of 305.909 kilometers. A special feature of the track is that the drivers will be turning counterclockwise, which will make the race more physically demanding for the drivers.<\/p>\n
1:07.291<\/b> – Lewis Hamilton holds the track record with this time set in 2018 during the qualifying session. The fastest lap in the race is held by his teammate Valtteri Bottas (1:10.540) during the 2018 edition.<\/p>\n
6<\/b> – Alain Prost is the driver who has won the most times in Brazil (Jacarepagua and Interlagos) once with Renault and Ferrari and four times with McLaren. Among active drivers, Sebastian Vettel has three wins, Lewis Hamilton two, Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen and Max Verstappen one each.<\/p>\n
0.588<\/b> – In 2002 Michael Schumacher won the Brazilian Grand Prix just ahead of his brother Ralph. The two brothers were separated at the finish line by just half a second. In contrast, in 1994 Michael Schumacher won the Grand Prix with a one-lap lead over his closest pursuer, Damon Hill.<\/p>\n
1<\/b> – In 2007, during the last race of the season, Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen won the Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship with his Ferrari, edging out Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso by just one point.<\/p>\n
1991<\/b> – In 1991, Ayrton Senna finally won his national Grand Prix. After the retirement of Nigel Mansell, his closest pursuer, the Brazilian had to fight with his gearbox stuck in sixth gear. After crossing the finish line, his McLaren came to a stop on the victory lap. Stepping out of his car with fingers cramped on the steering wheel, Senna even struggled to lift the trophy on the podium. He won the Brazilian Grand Prix for a second time in 1993, again driving a McLaren.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
