- F1. Sao Paulo Grand Prix 2023: Where will the Brazilian races take place this weekend?
It's almost time for the 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix, with the third-last race on the F1 calendar coming up this weekend.
Time is running out for the drivers and teams who hoped to secure at least one trip to the top step of the podium, making the 2023 F1 Brazil GP an extra important one.
For example, Mercedes are returning to Interlagos aiming to break their year-long victory drought in Formula 1, as the last Grand Prix win for Mercedes was at this venue, with George Russell claiming his maiden F1 victory.
Despite the optimism within Mercedes, Red Bull's Max Verstappen has been on a dominant run. Verstappen secured his 16th win of the season in Mexico, breaking his previous record and equaling Alain Prost's 51 F1 victories.
Verstappen is the favorite to win again in Brazil, which would place him fourth in the all-time F1 wins list and just one victory away from matching Sebastian Vettel's career total of 53.
