The third and final race of the second of three tripleheaders on the record-breaking 24-race 2024 Formula 1 schedule is scheduled to take place this Sunday at Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, better known as Interlagos Circuit.

The Sao Paulo Grand Prix, formerly (and still more commonly) known simply as the Brazilian Grand Prix, is scheduled to be a 71-lap race around the 15-turn, 2.677-mile (4.308-kilometer) road course in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Aside from Lewis Hamilton's epic drive from P10 to the top of the podium in 2021, which also included a drive from P20 to P5 in the preceding sprint race when the sprint race still determined the Grand Prix starting lineup (before he was penalized five positions), it has been 17 years since this race was won by a driver who did not start on the front row. Kimi Raikkonen won it from third on the grid in 2007.

The race was contested 15 times from 2008 to 2023, with the 2020 race having been canceled. On nine occasions, it was won by the polesitter, and on five, it was won by the driver who started on the opposite side of the front row. Red Bull's Max Verstappen won it from pole last year after doing the same in 2019.
