Brazilian Grand Prix - Interlagos Autodromo José Carlos Pace - 71 Laps More often than not, the first race of a Grand Prix season takes place at Interlagos where both the temperature and the mood of the crowd are hot. Interlagos is a demanding circuit with plenty of ups and downs, severe camber changes and a bumpy road surface which is infamous for ruining suspension, and wearing down even the fittest of drivers. Expect a lot of retirements.
