Formula One returns for the third consecutive weekend as the action heads to São Paulo for the 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix this Sunday, November 5. This weekend’s schedule will also include the sixth and final Sprint race of the year, as drivers and teams look to score valuable bonus points as the season begins to close. We tell you which TV channels will broadcast full coverage of the race in the city of Sao Paulo.
It was Max Verstappen who took the chequered flag again in Mexico last weekend - his 16th win of the year, which saw him break his own record for the most wins in an F1 season in history.
This time, he will have plenty of competitors again, including Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton, who took second place in Mexico City as he looks to finish the year strong to claim second place in the World Drivers’ Championship standings.
What time does the Brazil F1 Grand Prix 2023 start?
The 2023 Brazil Grand Prix starts on Sunday, 5 November at 14:00 local time (13:00 ET, 18:00 BST). The rest of the weekend is different compared to the normal format because there will be a sprint race at Interlagos. Therefore, there is only one 60-minute practice session on Friday, 3 November at 11:30 local time (10:30 ET, 14:30 BST). Qualifying will then take place on Friday afternoon at 15:00 local time. This will form the grid for Sunday’s Grand Prix. Sprint Shootout will take place at 11:00 local time on Saturday, with a 100 km Sprint Race on Saturday afternoon at 15:30 local time.
