Formula 1's four-race journey run through the Americas reaches its southernmost point in Brazil for the 2025 São Paulo Grand Prix.
The much-loved Autódromo José Carlos Pace, AKA Interlagos, circuit awaits Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz for a busy weekend of action.
Are you ready for our racing around South America? We've got five things to get you in the mood.
Sprint Finish
There are four rounds remaining in 2025, but we have six races to tackle thanks to Sprint returning to Brazil on Saturday, with another short-form race in Qatar.
We have fond memories of our last Sprint event, with Carlos and Alex picking up points in Austin back in October.
Carlos made it to the top three positions after navigating the Turn 1 chaos to score a second P3 finish in 2025.
Alex's three points added to his championship tally, too, further cementing his P8 placement in the World Drivers' Championship and aiding Atlassian Williams Racing's World Constructors' points haul for the season.
Can our duo do it again in São Paulo? We'll find out on Saturday.

São High Up
We're not anywhere near as high in the sky this weekend as our last race in Mexico City, but the Interlagos circuit is surprisingly at a relatively high altitude.
Sitting at 765 m above sea level, our host venue sits second on the list of circuit altitudes in the 2025 calendar, behind only Mexico.
That means the foothills of Spielberg's Red Bull Ring still sit below the height of São Paulo, despite the alpine setting of the Austrian GP.
Another high-altitude test awaits next, too, with Las Vegas and its 610 m altitude. That places the Nevada track into the fourth-highest slot of the season.

Montoya Makes It
Juan Pablo Montoya is our most recent victor in Brazil, with the Colombian racer taking a memorable win in his final appearance for Williams back in 2004.
Starting from the front row, Juan Pablo didn't have the start he would've hoped for in the typically damp conditions that so often affect Interlagos.
Dropping back to P4, Juan Pablo soon regained his stride as the track dried out and began battling with regular rival Kimi Raikkonen after stopping for dry rubber, gaining the lead when others refuelled.
The pair were mostly inseparable aside from when they pitted, but quick stops from the Williams mechanics and no mistakes from Juan Pablo ensured victory in his team finale.
With Ralf Schumacher bringing back points after a P5 position, too, we comfortably held off the charge from McLaren for P4 in the Constructors' standings.
Terra da Garoa
Ask any F1 fan about what three things they think of when Interlagos is brought up and the wild weather is sure to be one of their answers.
Some of the craziest races at the circuit have come amid monsoons or heavy rain around the Sao Paulo circuit.
That's no surprise for the locals who know the city as Terra da Garoa, or, to translate that Portuguese, the Land of the Drizzle.
The city has approximately 198 days with precipitation per year, meaning it's more likely than not to have some rainfall on any given day.
Annual rainfall sits at around 1500mm, which is over double what you'd expect from London. And, from what we've seen over the years, plenty of that seems to fall directly onto the track!
