While Brazil has hosted a Grand Prix since 1973, the race was officially renamed the São Paulo Grand Prix in 2021 to better reflect local government support and funding. Previously, it was known simply as the Brazilian Grand Prix.

• The race has been held almost exclusively at Autódromo José Carlos Pace — better known as Interlagos

• Brazil has produced legendary F1 figures like Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet, and Emerson Fittipaldi, giving the event deep emotional and national significance
